بَطَلٌ بِصَدرِ حُسامِهِ وَسِنانِهِ

أَجلان مِن صَدرٍ وَمِن إيرادِ

A hero with his breastplate and sharp blades,

More glorious than any breastplate or coats of mail,

وَرَثَ المَكارِمَ وَاِبتَناها قاسمٌ

بِصَفائِحٍ وَأَسِنَّةٍ وَجِيادِ

Al-Qasim inherited virtues and attained them,

With metal plates, spears, and steeds,

يا عِصمَةَ العَرَبِ الَّتي لَو لَم تَكُن

حَيّاً إِذاً كانَت بِغَيرِ عِمادِ

O pillar of the Arabs, without whom

They would have no pillar to lean on,

إِنَّ العُيونَ إِذا رَأَتكَ مِدادُها

رَجَعَت مِنَ الإِجلالِ غَيرَ حِدادِ

When eyes see you, their kohl

Returns not out of mourning but of awe,

وَإِذا رَمَيتَ الثَغرَ مِنكَ بِعَزمَةٍ

فَتَّحتَ مِنهُ مَواضِعَ الأَسدادِ

And when you aim your mouth with determination

You open in it places of obstruction,

وَكَأَنَّ رُمحَكَ مُنقَعٌ في عُصفُرٍ

وَكَأَنَّ سَيفَكَ سُلَّ مِن فِرصادِ

As though your spear soaked in saffron,

And your sword sheathed in scabbards,

لَو صالَ مِن غَضَبٍ أَبو دُلَفٍ عَلى

بيضِ السُيوفِ لَذُبنَ في الأَغمادِ

If Abu Dulaf got angry at the white swords,

They would melt in their sheaths,

أَورى وَنَوَّرَ لِلعَداوَةِ وَالقرى

نارَينِ نار دَمٍ وَنار زنادِ

He provoked and ignited for the enemies and towns,

Two fires - a fire of blood and a fire of fuel.
