1. ضَلّوا وَقادَهُمُ إِمامُ ضَلالَةٍ

    قَد كانَ بَدَّلَ دينَهُم تَبديلا

    They went astray, and a leader of misguidance led them.

    He had indeed changed their religion utterly.

  2. ما زالَ يَحمِلُ دائِباً أَوزارَهُم

    حَتّى أَتَيتَ بِرَأسِهِ مَحمولا

    He kept tirelessly bearing their burdens of sin,

    Until you arrived with his head being carried.

  3. فَلِيَهنِكَ الظَفَرُ الَّذي أوتَيتَهُ

    وَتَرَدَّدَ الأَعداءُ عَنكَ نُكولا

    So may the victory you were granted bring you joy;

    And the enemies drew back from you in retreat.
