أما مداكَ فغايةٌ لم تُلحَقِ

أعيَت على غُرِّ الجِيادِ السُبَّقِ

Your outstretched hand cannot be matched,

Horses exhausted from racing cannot keep up.

فاشرَح بِسَعدِكَ كُلَّ مَعنىً مُشكِلٍ

وافتَح بِسَيفِكَ كُلَّ بابٍ مُغلَقِ

With your fortune, clarify every ambiguous meaning,

With your sword, open every locked door.

واغزُ العِدا واصدَع بعَزمِكَ مُطلعاً

نورَ الفُتوحِ بمغربٍ ومشرقِ

March against the enemy, break forth with your resolve,

Bringing the light of victory to West and East.

لِلَّهِ منكَ مَشاهِدٌ مَشهورةٌ

عند الإلهِ بِمثلِها لم تُسبَقِ

For God, you have renowned scenes,

The likes of which were never witnessed by God before.

مثلُ الحفيرِ بها الذي باشَرتَهُ

فِعلَ الرسولِ وَصَحبِهِ في الخَندَقِ

Like the ditch you undertook,

Emulating the acts of the Messenger and his companions.

وَكَفى بِنِيَّتِكَ الكَريمَة أَنَّها

تَهدِي السَّبيلَ بِنورِها المُتألِّقِ

It suffices that your noble intention

Guides the way with its radiant light.

فأَكرِم بها من غَزوَةٍ مَنصورَةٍ

طلعت على الدنيا بوجهٍ مشرقِ

So honor it with a victorious raid

That dawns upon the world with a shining face.
