1. Syria is the abode of Islam, the land of permanence,
While before it was the path of escape.

2. It was in the darkness of pitch black night,
Then Uthman came with daybreak.

3. He came to it with innocence after distress,
And he came to it with security after caution.

4. O refuge of disbelief, do not feel safe,
In a land that is no refuge for disbelief.

5. O pillar of religion, O you who has,
Every glory in the heights has glory.

6. You came to build it while around it,
Are people like the number of pebbles under siege.

7. They blocked its paths until they almost,
Blocked the path of the train.

8. The birds pass over it but on the wings,
Of fear, it made them fly to it hastily.

9. Disbelief brought its great armies to it,
Led by mighty kings.

10. Everyone who roars angrily at it,
Is like a fire from the setting of the sun.

11. Whether it came galloping on land,
Or flew on the wings of castles in the sea.

12. They covered the sea with ships but,
No land appeared and they marched on it in barrens.

13. They besieged the fort and circled around it,
Clustering like necklaces not like bracelets.

14. They gathered around and surrounded it,
Rushing like a flood and enclosing like fire.

15. That fort was with its people,
And before distress could overtake it.

16. The people of disbelief were in ember,
When you shaded over them, they fled in sparks.

17. They fled to the sea when they saw,
A raging sea in which seas drown.

18. Their excuse when they fled is clear,
Can the night withstand the day?

19. I swear they did not tighten their belts,
Except that the night has a loose belt.

20. Had it not been for the people's hastiness,
I would have hastened misery upon the people.

21. The darkness of night confused them,
So let them thank it for the nights of concealment.

22. The rain was merciful to them,
For it was from you that it gave them refuge.

23. Had your sword not held back, no shower,
Of pouring rain would have poured.

24. They scrambled and scrambled from the path of ruin,
So they did not leave a creek or coast.

25. Some of them whisper in fear,
So the talk of the people is but whispers.

26. Their clothes turned into disgrace,
So the one in forgiveness became one in veil.

27. You gave that fort refuge from uprooting,
And none but you could overpower it.

28. From the siege of disbelief you saved it,
With might rather from shackles.

29. We have never heard of an opening like this,
No rather one without even dust over it.

30. They fled and there is no shame on them in it,
Fleeing from you has no shame.

31. Reason showed them to avoid the strife,
And for them it was the best choice.

32. O king who defeats enemies,
With awe, this and your noble father.

33. You fulfilled the right of Syria when you visited it,
Braving the perils of those clouds.

34. Disbelief there has been humiliated because of you,
So the blood of the tyrants in it became abundant.

35. So return to Egypt for it longs for you,
And reminiscing of you has saddened it.

36. It awaits your return yearning,
Nothing tires the yearner like waiting.

37. It yearns for you the full moon, the lion,
The rain, and the bestower of thousands of flowers.

38. Whoever settles in a place,
Glory and honor settle with him wherever he goes.

39. You have expanded your mercy over Syria,
And it is time to have mercy over these lands.

40. Egypt is the land of kings and it is the one,
That reaped the hands of Islam those fruits.

41. So return and you are still returning to us,
With grace, prosperity, and capability.

42. And time, you are still wearing it for us,
A long life in short nights.

43. You remain the length of life and the likes of it,
Long, and these words from me are a summary.
