وَنَجْلٍ تدرك الأَبصارُ منه

سنا قمرٍ بتاج المجد حالِ

A boy whose radiance the sights can reach

Like the glow of a full moon with a crown of glory

حَبَتْه سُنّةُ الإِسلام طُهراً

تكفَّل غَيْرَةَ الماءِ الزُّلال

Islam's tradition loved him with pureness

It undertook the zeal of clear water

فيا لكَ من دمٍ يجري سُروراً

وكَلْمٍ نقْصُه سِمَةُ الكمال

Oh what kind of blood that flows with delight

And words whose flaw is a sign of perfection

وذي أَلم يلذّ به وجرحٍ

يكون قصاصهُ جَذَلَ الرجال

And one who feels a pain that gives him pleasure and a wound

Whose retaliation makes brave men recoil

وأَيّ جناية تَرْضى المَساعي

بها ويُثاب جانيها بمال

And what crime would efforts be content with

And its perpetrator rewarded with wealth
