1. Reach out with your cavalry to the cavalry of Allah in al-Andalus
The path to its deliverance has certainly worn away

2. Bestow upon it from your mighty victory that which it seeks
For mighty victory from you has never ceased being sought

3. Save it from the woes that afflict it
For it has long tasted misfortune at dawn and eve

4. O land that has become islands for its people
Due to calamities while its glory has become debased

5. In every rising star, an imam shines
Whose funeral upon hostility returns to celebration

6. And every setting star, an injustice appears
That bows safety in caution and joy in sorrow

7. The Romans divided it yet their divisions
Claimed nothing but its veiled clans

8. In Valencia thereof and Cordoba
That which agonizes the soul or which bleeds the soul

9. Cities conquered by the polytheists smiling
While faith migrated dejected

10. And the roaming destroyers among them
Made its glances desolate over what was intimate

11. Of citadels that were beneath it protection
And churches that were before it churches

12. O mosques that returned to the enemies for sale
And the call to prayer that became bells during its times

13. My fervor for its lost restoration is intense
What were religious schools became schools of deviance

14. Four realms prospered to its right in spring
Whatever you wished of fine garb, coverings, and thrones

15. They were gardens comforting gazes
So vegetation yellowed and withered from its branches

16. And whatever surrounding sights were wondrous
Where caravans rested or convoys lodged

17. Soon the army of disbelief wreaked havoc and war
Like beasts corrupting its treasures that it amassed

18. And seized its glory from what confiscated it
With the seizure of a vicious lion upon its prey

19. So where is the life we flourished, once green?
And where is the branch we flourished, once supple?

20. An overpowering transgressor enabled against it
Erased its beauties, never sleeping or tired

21. And shook its outskirts when it surrounded it
So the banners of its flags were left desolate

22. The atmosphere betrayed it, so its hands reached
To obtain what its feet had not stealthily seized

23. And he multiplied false claims of divine incarnation
Though had he seen the banner of divine oneness, he would not have dared

24. O Lord, mend its rope for the agreeable have not
Left a rope for it or one to keep its ropes tied

25. And revive what the enemies erased among it
As you revived what was erased of the call of the Mahdi

26. Days you set out to preemptively champion the truth
And by that enlightened guidance, you were illuminated

27. You stood by God's command, victoriously
Like an unsheathed sword or a polished blade

28. You erase what false incarnation has inscribed of darkness
As the dawn's lights erase gloom

29. And you take from the Compeller His due
Publicly on the day of battle, not fearing secrecy

30. These are its means calling you from yearning
While you are the best resort for one in despair

31. Intercede with good tidings seeking the amiable Prince's pleasure and the generous Master's intimacy
It has plunged into the green of youth which his brilliance raises and lowers

32. And it suffers softness and ferocity from his clouds
And it occasionally floats while the winds blow fiercely

33. As you have sought with your utmost exertion the steed
It visits Yahya ibn Abd al-Wahid ibn Abi

34. Hafs reverently from his burial place in Jerusalem
A king whom the kingdoms have submitted to

35. Willingly in religion and worldly affairs, enveloping them in contentment
From every departing to his right taking charge

36. And every arriving seeking his bounty
Supported such that if he shot a star he would fix it

37. And if he called to a horizon it would obey, not holding back
By Allah, he whom hopes of glory are anticipated for

38. Has not wandered aimlessly in eternity, ever
An emirate whose standard is borne by destiny

39. And a state whose honor accompanies auspiciousness
The day manifests some of its light through it

40. And the night reveals some of its darkness for it
Unwavering in determination while the days have betrayed

41. The freely flowing and the time has frowned
It is as though he is the full moon and the heights are his

42. Surrounded by the mane of glory protecting him
His planning encompassed the world though it did not encompass him

43. And the reputation of his virtues covered people and consoled them
His call was established upon justice and benevolence

44. And it spread the generosity of generosity that was folded
Blessed is his guidance each morning, his tranquility pervasive

45. Not arising except for the best and never sitting
Allah illuminated his insight with piety

46. So he does not care for the complexities of events, confused
He saw the disobedient and cared for the obedient, so say

47. Regarding the lion, ferocious, and the rain, flowing
He did not neglect a plain or mountain

48. Without enlivening it if you entrusted it to him depleted
For many prey you do not find prey like it

49. And many pursuits you do not find a pursuit like it
He is nurtured into the angels and kings together

50. In a source that produced for glory what was planted
Allah formed his essence from radiant light

51. And protected his constitution from approaching lowliness
For him are the land and throne, two paths so none

52. More honorable than his two paths has mounted or settled
The one who sold himself in dangers riding them

53. Considers it sufficient for his life that the sale not be rescinded
Indeed fortunate is one who throws his staff aside

54. While being cautious of justice and vigilant
He dwelt making sanctuaries from its corners

55. And stayed kindling from its lights a flame
Good tidings to a servant who approached the Bountiful Door

56. With hopes and drew from the sweet well
As though riding the oaths that accompany him

57. A path from the seas toward it dried
So he was met with happiness, its floods greeting him

58. From a horizon whose light overflowed and reflected
And before generosity, its downpours met him

59. From serenity in which the sea delved and submerged
O victorious King, you are for it

60. Heights that expand the enemies of guidance miserably
And reports have circulated that you are one who

61. Revives by killing the yellow kings of al-Andalus
Purify your country of them, they are impure

62. And no purity unless you wash the impure
And tread the mighty regiments upon their land

63. Until it bows the heads of all who have heads
And aid worshippers in its furthest east who have turned

64. Their eyes with tears flowing purely and muddily
They are followers of the creed and it is the abode that has been shaken

65. With an illness that will not be cured unless addressed decisively
So fill its realm triumphantly with cavalry brandishing swords

66. Or infantrymen with spears, joyous
And make it a promise of conquest which it awaits

67. Perhaps the day of enemies has come and perhaps is near
