أَبشِروا حَظُّنا نَهَض
بَعدَ ما كانَ قَد رَمَض
Rejoice, our luck has risen
After it had passed away
وَسَنا بارِق المُنى
بَعدَ طُولِ الجَفا وَمَض
And we have a shining future
After long estrangement and loss
وَرَنا طَرفُ دَهرِنا
نَحوَنا بَعدَ طولِ غَض
And an eye of our fate has looked upon us
After long gloom
وَأَزالَت شُموسُهُ
ظُلمَةَ الجَهلِ فَاِنغَمَض
And its suns have removed
The darkness of ignorance, so it vanished
وَأَتى الحَقُّ بَعدَما
زَهَقَ الباطِلُ المُهَض
And truth has come after
Falsehood, defeated, perished
وَالبَليد الطِباع مِن
عُنصرٍ ما بِهِ حَيَض
And the dull spirited one
Of an element with no menstruation
عامَلَ القَومَ بِالجَفا
وَلطُرقِ الوَفا رَفَض
Treated the people with estrangement
And refused the ways of loyalty
جَهل النَحوَ وَالَّذي
قَرَّرَ القَوم قَد نَقَض
Ignorant of grammar, he
Who settled the people, had violated
فَلِهَذا وَشبهه
وِلِأَمرٍ هُوَ الغَرَض
So for this and its like
And for a matter which is the aim
رَفَعوهُ بِجَرّه
بَدل النَصبِ فَاِنخَفض
They raised him dragging him
Instead of accusative, so he descended
عوّضُونا مَكانَهُ
عوضاً يا لَهُ عوَض
They substituted us in his place
A substitution, what a substitution!
خَيرَ قاضي عَساكر ال
دينِ بِالحَقِّ قَد نَهَض
The best judge of the soldiers of religion
With truth he has risen
أَعدلُ الخَلقِ إِن قَضى
أَكرَمُ الناسِ إِن عَرَض
The most just of people if he judges
The most generous if he is presented
أَعلَمُ القَومِ بِالَّذي
شَرَعَ الحَقَّ وَاِفتَرَض
The most knowledgeable of people in what
God has legislated and made obligatory
وَبِهِ قامَ مِثلَما
قامَ بِالجَوهَرِ العَرَض
And by it he has risen like
The accident has risen by the essence
فَلِذا قالَ هاتِفٌ
في خِطابٍ لَهُ وَحَض
So for this a caller has said
In a discourse for him, urging
أَنتَ ذاكَ الَّذي عَلا
ما بِهِ جاءَ وَاِنتَهَض
You are the one who has surmounted
What has come and risen
قُم وَخُذهُ مُؤَرِّخاً
جَدِّد الدينَ يا عَوَض
Arise and take him chronicling
Renew the religion, O substitute!
