الهي مميت الحيِّ مستأثرُ البقا
عدوك حز الحق منه بشفرة
My God, O Slayer of the living, sole Possessor of everlastingness,
With a blade, wrest what is right from Your enemy.
أمته مميت الحي مفني خلقه
بدامية تغتاله ذات مرة
Put him to death, O Slayer of the living, Annihilator of His creation,
with a blood-drawing blade that takes him unawares, once.
أمته مميت الحي بالذل موبقاً
فقد عاشت الهلاك منه بغصة
Put him to death, O Slayer of the living, ruinously abased;
for she has lived through destruction at his hands, in choking anguish.
أمته مميت الحي وافلل حدوده
فليس على حد له جزء قوة
Put him to death, O Slayer of the living, and blunt his blades,
so that no edge of his retains the least strength.
وخذ لحدود اللّه منه بثارها
فكم ضامها إذ عز حامي الحقيقة
And exact from him vengeance for the bounds ordained by God—
how often he violated them when the champion of truth was scarce!
ودمدم على أنصاره واصطلمهمو
بما اصطلموه من حقوق الشريعة
Crush his supporters and extirpate them
for the rights of the Sacred Law that they extirpated.
أمتهم مميت الحي بالخسف والوبا
وبالطعن والطاعون أشنع موتة
Put them to death, O Slayer of the living, by earth-swallowing and epidemic,
by stabbing and plague—the most hideous death.
أمتهم وأهلك نسلهم وبلادهم
فما لك في أمثالهم من بقية
Put them to death, and destroy their offspring and their lands,
so no remnant of their like is left for You.
أمتهم مميت الحي واحصد جموعهم
بأخذ العذاب الهون في حين غفلة
Put them to death, O Slayer of the living, and reap their hosts
as degrading punishment seizes them in a moment of heedlessness.
أمتهم ببث الشر في ذات بينهم
ودائرة تطويهم مدلهمة
Put them to death by sowing evil in their relations with one another,
and by a dark calamity that closes around them and sweeps them away.
أمتهم بخبل اللّه تعقر عقرهم
وكل كمي ناصر اللّه بهمة
Put them to death with God-sent derangement that cripples them at their very root,
while every valiant champion of God is a dauntless hero.
