وافى فأردى رجالاً بعدما نعِموا

وافى فأردى رجالاً بعدما نعِموا

دَهراً وأحيا رجالاً بعدما هلكوا

دَهراً وأحيا رجالاً بعدما هلكوا

He arrived and slew men after they had lived in ease

You came and revived men after they perished

For an age, and brought men to life after they had perished.

And destroyed men after they prospered

طلعتَ والبدرَ نصفَ الشهر في قَرَنٍ

طلعتَ والبدرَ نصفَ الشهر في قَرَنٍ

فأشرقت بكما الأرضُونَ والفَلَكُ

فأشرقت بكما الأرضُونَ والفَلَكُ

You rose alongside the full moon at midmonth,

You rose while the moon was halfway through its orbit

So the earths and the celestial sphere shone through you both.

So the land and the sky shone brightly because of you

وأسفَرَ الجوُّ حتى ظَنَّ مُبصِرُهُ

وأسفَرَ الجوُّ حتى ظَنَّ مُبصِرُهُ

بأنّ لَمعَ السَّنَا فى أُفقِهِ ضَحِكُ

بأنّ لَمعَ السَّنَا فى أُفقِهِ ضَحِكُ

And the sky grew bright until its beholder thought

The sky brightened until its observer thought

That the gleam of radiance on its horizon was laughter.

That the brilliance of the teeth in its horizon was laughter

يقودُ كُلَّ مُجِنٍّ ضِغنَ ذى تِرَةٍ

يقودُ كُلَّ مُجِنٍّ ضِغنَ ذى تِرَةٍ

يكادُ من حَرِّه الماذِي ينسَبِكُ

يكادُ من حَرِّه الماذِي ينسَبِكُ

He leads every man harboring the rancor of one with a wrong to avenge;

Leading every musical note of the singer's melody

From its heat, the gleaming mail almost melts.

That almost melts from its burning heat

حتى أعاد بحدِّ السَّيف مُلكَ بني ال

حتى أعاد بحدِّ السَّيف مُلكَ بني ال

زّهراء واستُرجِعَ الحقُّ الذي تركوا

زّهراء واستُرجِعَ الحقُّ الذي تركوا

Until, with the sword’s edge, he restored the dominion of the descendants of

Until he restored the rule of the Family of Zahra

al-Zahra, and the right they had left behind was reclaimed.

And reclaimed the right which they had neglected

فلو يكونُ لهم أمثالُهُ عَضُداً

فلو يكونُ لهم أمثالُهُ عَضُداً

فيما مضَى ما غَدَت مغصوبةً فَدَكُ

فيما مضَى ما غَدَت مغصوبةً فَدَكُ

For had men like him been a support to them

If only they had supporters like him

In the past, Fadak would not have been usurped.

In the past Fadak would not have been usurped
