1. وَلَمّا تَوالى الفتحُ مِن كُلِّ وَجهَةٍ

    وَلَم تَبلُغِ الأَوهامُ في الوَصفِ حَدَّهُ

    And when victory followed victory from every quarter,

    and imagination could not describe its full extent,

  2. تَرَكنا أَميرَ المُؤمِنين لِشُكرِهِ

    بِما أَودَع السرُّ الإِلهيُّ عِندَهُ

    we left the Commander of the Faithful to give thanks for it,

    with what the divine mystery had entrusted to him.

  3. فَلا نعمَةٌ إِلّا تؤدّي حُقوقَها

    عَلامتُهُ بِالحَمدُ لِلّه وَحدَه

    For there is no blessing whose due is not rendered

    by his signature: 'Praise be to God alone.'
