وَالضَربُ قَرطَبَةٌ بِكُلِّ مُهَنَّدٍ

تَرَكَ المَداوِسُ مَتنَهُ مَصقولا

And al-Ḍarb Qurṭubah with every polished sword -

The anvils left their surface smooth,

وَبِجَلهَتَي عَمّانَ يَومٌ لَم يَكُن

لَكُمُ إِذا عُدَّ العُلا مَغمولا

And the day of Ǧalḥatay ʿAmmān was a day that had not been -

For you, when the banners are furled.
