1. أما مداكَ فغايةٌ لم تُلحَقِ

    أعيَت على غُرِّ الجِيادِ السُبَّقِ

    As for your reach, it is a goal never attained,

    Beyond the white-blazed, foremost steeds.

  2. فاشرَح بِسَعدِكَ كُلَّ مَعنىً مُشكِلٍ

    وافتَح بِسَيفِكَ كُلَّ بابٍ مُغلَقِ

    So clarify with your good fortune every obscure meaning,

    And open with your sword every closed door.

  3. واغزُ العِدا واصدَع بعَزمِكَ مُطلعاً

    نورَ الفُتوحِ بمغربٍ ومشرقِ

    And assail the foes and proclaim your resolve, bringing forth

    The light of conquests in west and east.

  4. لِلَّهِ منكَ مَشاهِدٌ مَشهورةٌ

    عند الإلهِ بِمثلِها لم تُسبَقِ

    For God you have performed renowned deeds;

    In God's sight, none has surpassed you with their like.

  5. مثلُ الحفيرِ بها الذي باشَرتَهُ

    فِعلَ الرسولِ وَصَحبِهِ في الخَندَقِ

    Such as the trench there, which you worked on yourself,

    As the Messenger and his companions did at the Trench.

  6. وَكَفى بِنِيَّتِكَ الكَريمَة أَنَّها

    تَهدِي السَّبيلَ بِنورِها المُتألِّقِ

    And it is enough for your noble intention that it

    Shows the way with its radiant light.

  7. فأَكرِم بها من غَزوَةٍ مَنصورَةٍ

    طلعت على الدنيا بوجهٍ مشرقِ

    How noble, then, is this victorious campaign,

    Which rose upon the world with a radiant face.
