1. O Caliph of Allah, whom the eloquent orators guaranteed
To be truthful in his description, not exaggerating

2. Neither Egypt with its towering palaces is the equal of his shade
Nor outstretched necks can reach his lofty palace

3. O light of the religion of Allah and son of its pillar
And abundant water, son of abundant water, son of abundant water

4. Turn the abodes of the gray-haired into yellow with the sharpness of your sword
For your steeds have refrained from the daughters of Al-Asfar

5. They erected the palace of hypocrisy and ignited
A fire that will engulf them tomorrow at the Gathering

6. Its flames blazed with the sparks of its heat and its eruptions
Flared between As-Safa and Al-Marwah

7. You routed them from behind as you sought help
Never be lenient with those who manifested disbelief and did not repent

8. Rather, split open the chest of the one who donned
The armor of misguidance upon the most hostile declaimer

9. Give him the collars that Ali gifted graciously
For he had sneered with the deceit of the Khaybarian

10. There is no dishonesty worse than one whose mother
Is an uncircumcised Christian convert

11. These resolves have ignited for us, never to wane
The ways of lords of old in their fortified abodes

12. Lighting the opinions of the glorious honored one
And the awakening of the victorious supported one

13. Roll up your sleeves for necks have extended themselves to you
None can attain the goals save the roll upper of sleeves

14. Are you not the one whose justice filled the plain
And the doer of good drove away objectionable matters

15. O affection of the righteous father and kindness of
The merciful mother to the youngest orphan

16. O plateau of Islam, by whom is protected
Whoever believes and whoever turns away from it disbelieves

17. They made the Cross a canopy
Its pillars bore fruits of every kind

18. Their traces are impure, so protect the Sacred House
From their defilement and cleanse it

19. The Friend (Abraham) would be outraged, and the one from the clan of Hashim
With your Damascus iron sword and Yemeni waist wrapper

20. With the slash of swords, the necks of Banu Uraima were severed
Deafening the hearings of Jayhoon and the sword of the Berbers

21. He deludes the possession of the King of kings, loose of principles
Nay, (he is) the good fortune of the greatest of fortunes

22. About the criticizer of the horsemen, he is not belying
And the perfecter of benevolence, he is not corrupting

23. Full moon of the armies and the gatherings, the knight
Of lions in the forest of intricate darkness

24. A king whom people are equal in his traits
The few are excused and the inadequacy of the many is evident

25. O King who calls, whose generosity
Resounds in all horizons, is there one in distress?

26. Verily, eulogies have become chaste under your shadow
Expensive to those who appreciate and value

27. If you have given life to the son of Hamdan by it
Then I am the one who smeared dust on the face of As-Sari

28. You are more generous than people who lauded
The name of the son of Aws and specified Al-Buhturi

29. Necks have bowed to your state and will not cease
To gain spoils if you conquer or be victorious if you battle
