You prayed that Allah make the best of them,

دعوت لهم أن يجعل الله خيرهم

1. You prayed that Allah make the best of them,
And you are worthy of this prayer and its righteousness.

١. دَعَوتَ لَهُم أَن يَجعَلَ اللَهُ خَيرَهُم
وَأَنتَ بِدَعوى بِالصَوابِ جَديرُها

2. The aggressors intended evil with it, but it destroyed them,
The Lord of the pure souls is well aware of it.

٢. أَرادَ بِهِ الباغونَ كَيداً فَكادَهُم
بِهِ رَبُّ بَرّاتِ النُفوسِ خَبيرُها

3. Had they betrayed the covenant around their necks,
It would have kindling and embers from Mina.

٣. وَلَو كايَدَ العَهدَ الَّذي في رِقابِهِم
لَهُ أَخشَبا جَنبَي مِنىً وَثَبيرُها

4. So they would break the confirmation of covenants with Him,
Its houses would be rubble while they stand roofless.

٤. لِيَنقُضنَ تَوكيدَ العُهودِ الَّتي لَهُ
لَأَمسَت ذُراها وَهيَ دُكٌّ وُعورُها

5. And a people whose blood, if you wanted to shed it,
Their deeds would arouse it if you stirred them.

٥. وَقَومٍ أَحاطَت لَو تُريدُ دِماءَهُم
بِأَعناقِهِم أَعمالَهُم لَو تُثيرُها

6. They saw what they fear from the One whose might
Was absent from them when their value was lost.

٦. عَلَيهِم رَأَوا ما يَتَّقونَ مِنَ الَّذي
غَلَت قِدرُهُم إِذ غابَ عَنها صُيورُها

7. You pardoned them with abundant clemency, like musk
In its pod is atop the aromas of Hindi oils.

٧. تَجاوَزتَ عَنهُم فَضلَ حِلمٍ كَما عَفا
بِمَسكِنَ وَالهِندِيَّ تَعلو ذُكورُها

8. After Mus'ab passed away, your father left troops.
He slipped away from them while earnestly calling many of them.

٨. أَبوكَ جُنوداً بَعدَما مَرَّ مُصعَبٌ
تَفَلَّذَ عَنهُ وَهوَ يَدعو كَثيرُها

9. You are the most deserving of people of justice and piety,
And you are the fertile land of the living and its purity.

٩. فَأَنتَ أَحَقُّ الناسِ بِالعَدلِ وَالتُقى
وَأَنتَ ثَرى الأَرضِ الحَيا وَطَهورُها

10. Thus you two became among us like David and his son,
On a path by which one guided is led aright.

١٠. فَأَصبَحتُما فينا كَداوُدَ وَاِبنِهِ
عَلى سُنَّةٍ يُهدى بِها مَن يَسيرُها
