1. The son of Thabit, of whom I am proud
The elite of poetry and the genesis of verse

2. My eyes were captivated by their beauty and shrines
So my reliance and aspirations are upon tears

3. Thus I made its rhyme the letter 'r'
Which is among the letters of repetition

4. So I say, beginning in obedience to Ahmed
In praise of excellent and noble people

5. I am a man among the Ansar
So if I praise them, I praise my carpenters

6. By their swords guidance stood tall and by them
Its lights became elevated on every minaret

7. They supported the victory of the Hashimite Muhammad
The Chosen One, the Elect of the Elect

8. They accompanied the Prophet with purpose and determination
And thereby won praiseworthy traces

9. They sold their souls to champion His religion
And that is why they accompanied Him with sacrifice

10. The Chosen One gave them the appellation ‘The Trusted One’
Who comes to him from the right with destinies

11. Sa’d, the scion of Ubadah, I take pride in him
On the day of Saqifah, the leader of the Helpers

12. For God there are lions against every calamity
That has befallen the religion of God and the righteous

13. They empowered the religion of God by empowering it
The religion of guidance by the great army

14. Through them my spectacle will be raised on Judgement Day
And through them my pride will be seen at the Fountain

15. If I were to string words as necklaces
In praise of them, I would not be excessive

16. The Prophet’s father-in-law and the messenger’s companion-in-arms
Whom his enemies tried with betrayal

17. Ascetic monks by night who read His word
Lions absent in battle by day
