فريق العِدا مِن حَدِّ عَزمِكَ يفرقُ

وبِالدَّهرِ مِما خافَ بَطشَك أولَقُ

The band of enemies is split by your firm resolve,

And from your might those who feared are in tatters and rags.

تَيَممتهُ وَالسَّعدُ حَولَك جَحفلٌ

وقارعتَه والنَّصرُ دونَك خَندَقُ

You confronted him while good fortune circles you,

And you bested him while victory lies beneath you in ambush.

أَدَرتَ رَحى الحَربِ الزّبُونِ بِساحَةٍ

وغالبتَه وَالجَوُّ بالبَيض يَعبَقُ

You set in motion the millstones of war in an open field,

And you vanquished him while fate with whiteness was perfumed.

فَلَما حَوت كَفاك رمَّة أَمرِهِ

وَشُدَّ بكفّ الحصرِ منهُ المُخنَّقُ

When your hand encompassed the pinnacle of his affair,

And the suffocated were bound by your clenching fist,

وأَسقَيتَه مِن جَمَّة الأَمن صافِياً

إِذا ذاقَه من ذاقه يَتَمَطَّقُ

You gave him to drink from the clear wine of security,

When he tastes it, from having tasted it, he is freed from choking.

وَكَم لَكَ مِثلي مُستَرقّ مكارمٍ

بِعَفوِكَ مِن رِقِّ المنيّة يُعتَقُ

How many the likes of me, stealing your noble traits,

Freed by your pardon from the shackles of annihilation.

كَشفتُ سَماءَ المَجدِ عنكَ فَلَم أَجِد

سوى كَرمٍ عَن طيبِ خيمكَ يَنطِقُ

I unveiled the sky of glory around you but did not find

Other than generosity from the goodness of your abode does speak.

وَرَدتُ رِياضَ العَفوِ منكَ فَجادَني

بأَرجائِها مِن مُزنِ نُعماكَ مُغدِقُ

I returned to the meadows of your pardon so it gave freely,

With its edges, from your overflowing boons, pouring.

فإِن أَنا أَشكركَ أبيضَ مُعرِقاً

فَلا هَزَّني لِلمَجدِ أَبيض مُعرِقُ

If I thank you, my temples turning white,

No whiteness of temples, for glory, me did shake.
