1. By the life of your two fathers, O sons of Lu'ayy
You were boastful and self-important
١. لَعَمْرُ أبيكُما يا ابْنَيْ لُؤَيٍّ
على زَهْوٍ لَدَيْكُمْ وانْتِخاءِ
2. When your horsemen gathered at Badr
And did not show patience there when meeting [us]
٢. لما حامَتْ فَوارِسُكُمْ بِبَدْرٍ
ولا صَبَرُوا بِهِ عِنْدَ اللِّقاءِ
3. We repelled them by the light of God that dispels
The darkness from us and the covering
٣. وَرَدْناهُ بِنُورِ اللهِ يَجْلُو
دُجَى الظَّلْماءِ عَنَّا والغطاءِ
4. The Messenger of God leads us by an order
From the order of God that was carried out decisively
٤. رسولُ اللهِ يُقْدِمُنا بأَمْرٍ
مِنَ امْرِ اللهِ أُحْكِمَ بالقَضاءِ
5. So your horsemen were not victorious at Badr
And they did not return to you successfully
٥. فَما ظَفِرَتْ فوارِسُكُمْ بِبَدْرٍ
وما رَجَعُوا إليكُمْ بالسَّواءِ
6. So do not rush, O Abu Sufyan, but wait
For God's steeds that come out from watering places
٦. فلا تَعْجَلْ أبا أبا سُفْيانَ وارْقُبْ
جِيادَ اللهِ تطْلعُ مِنْ كَداءِ
7. With God's help, the Holy Spirit is in them
And Michael - so good are the warriors
٧. بِنَصْرِ اللهِ رُوحُ القُدْسِ فيها
وميكالٌ فَيا طِيبَ الملاءِ
