1. What crescent moon has been eclipsed,
And what branch has been broken,

2. That was a lamp which shone,
Upon the land but then was extinguished.

3. He did not ride horses, nor was he adorned,
With weapons and armor.

4. Say to the grammarians despite their views,
Ahmed is the most praised among you.

5. Have patience, O Salah al-Din,
O Lord of forgiveness and loyalty.
