1. With what festival are you a returning festival?
Overflowing with good tidings for us, or with hopes?

2. I was so grieved by the news as if
I were meeting an army ready for battle.

3. Did the feared lion leave his lair?
And the brave ones surrender their forts?

4. Did the conquerors' swords betray their palms?
And the conquerors' ships go astray on the coasts?

5. Did their talk reach the Sacred House?
And alarm the pilgrims around it and the tribes?

6. Did the Noble Tomb know what happened?
For its sides trembled asking.

7. Was it for the East or the West or both together
That the Turks' enemies prepared those tools?

8. Shall I wait until the throne falls between them
And those ambitions are consumed by the fires?

9. My life to the oppressed who suffered schemes,
Crusading, before the uproar and snares.

10. If they sought help from the Muslims, they lagged behind,
And how many of Jesus' people did they find treacherous!

11. So O House of Ottoman, take heed,
For they are lessons that awakened the heedless nations.

12. Today's victorious nations are not kind
To the prey, prowling around it.

13. Between them, behind and ahead of your heritage,
And your booty, I see evil gathering all-inclusively

14. And how many a state grew up and flourished and declined!
Did the West make a pact with time to take turns?

15. Goodness upon the world, when I do not see
Armies of Islam overthrowing armies.
