1. Her windows were adorned with spears
Until we left it like an arched lodge
١. وَجَرَّت سَنابِكَها بِالعِرا
قِ حَتّى تَرَكناهُ كَالمِشجَبِ
2. They shake every tall, straight-speared one
Of moderate blade and slender shaft
٢. يَهُزّونَ كُلَّ طويلِ القَنا
ةِ مُعتَدِلَ النَصلِ وَالثَعلَبِ
3. As if their clamor when they marched forth
Were the hubbub of a fertile land
٣. كَأَنَّ وَغاهُم إِذا ما غَدَوا
ضَجيجُ قَطا بَلَدٍ مُخصِبِ
4. He leads us with his face bright
Noble of stance and rank
٤. يُقَوِّمُنا واضِحٌ وَجهُهُ
كَريمُ المَضارِبِ وَالمَنصِبِ
5. Dazzling white, his light shines for us
When the gloom of his retinue disperses
٥. أَغَرُّ يُضِئُ لَنا نورُهُ
إِذا ما اِنجَلَت غَمرَةُ المَوكِبِ
6. Bombards canopy him
With a porch of outspread hides unadorned
٦. تَظَلُّ القَنابِلُ يَكسونهُ
رِواقاً مِنَ النَقعِ لَم يُطنَبِ
7. He helps us and makes us victorious through Him
And he whom God helps cannot be overcome
٧. أُعينَ بِنا وَنُصِرنا بِهِ
وَمَن يَنصُرِ اللَهُ لا يُغلَبِ
8. Your mother's ransom, and her children's too
And if you wish, I could add my father
٨. فَداؤُكَ أُمّي وَأَبناؤُها
وَإِن شِئتَ زِدتُ عَلَيهِم أَبي
9. So whoever is with us passes the night secure
While whoever is not with us will flee
٩. فَمَن يَكُ مِنّا يَبِت آمِناً
وَمَن يَكُ مِن غيرِنا يَهرُبِ
