1. يا مَن يُجرِّدُ مِن بَصيرتهِ

    تحتَ الحوادثِ صارمَ العَزْمِ

    O you who unsheathe from your insight

    amid calamities, the keen sword of resolve.

  2. رُعتَ العدوَّ فَما مثُلتَ لهُ

    إلا تفزَّعَ منكَ في الحُلمِ

    You terrified the enemy, and never did you appear to him

    without his taking fright at you in a dream.

  3. أضْحى لكَ التَّدبيرُ مُطَّرداً

    مثلَ اطَّرادِ الفعلِ للاسمِ

    Your planning has become consistent,

    like the regular correspondence of verb to noun.

  4. رفعَ الحسودُ إليكَ ناظِرهُ

    فرآكَ مُطَّلعاً معَ النَّجْمِ

    The envious man raised his gaze toward you,

    and saw you rising alongside the star.
