طَرَقَتْ هُمومُكَ فالرقادُ مسهَّدُ

وَجَزِعْتُ أَنْ سُلِخَ الشَّبابُ الأَغْيَدُ

Your worries kept you awake, sleep was disrupted

And I feared that exuberant youth had vanished

وَدَعَتْ فؤادَكَ للهَوَى ضمْريَّةٌ

فهواكَ غوريٌّ وصَحْبُكَ مُنْجِدُ

And your heart was tempted by passion in secrecy

Your passion overpowered you, and your friends enabled it

فدَعِ التَّمادِيَ في الغَوايَةِ سادِراً

قَدْ كُنْتَ في طَلَبِ الغَوايَةِ تُفْنَدُ

So stop persisting in misguidance while aware

You used to seek misguidance enthusiastically

وَلَقَدْ أَنَى لَكَ أنْ تناهَى طائِعاً

أو تَسْتَفيقَ إذا نهاكَ المْرشِدُ

It would befit you to refrain willingly

Or wake up when the guide admonishes you

وَلَقَدْ هُدِدْتُ لفَقْدِ حَمْزَةَ هُدَّةً

ظَلَّتْ بَناتْ الجَوْفِ مِنْها تَرْعُدُ

And I was threatened by Hamza's loss with great sorrow

That made my insides tremble continuously

وَلَوَ أنَّهُ فَجِعَتْ حِراءُ بمِثْلِهِ

لَرَأَيْتَ رأسَي صَخْرِها يَتَبَدَّدُ

And if Hiraa had lost one like him

You would have seen its rocks fragmenting

قَرْمٌ تَمَكَّنَ في ذُؤابَةِ هاشِمٍ

حَيْثُ النُّبُوَّةُ والنَّدَى والسُّؤْدُدُ

An obstinate one established in Hashim's sanctuary

Where prophethood, bounty, and goodness originate

والعاقِرُ الكُومَ الجِلادَ إذا غَدَتْ

ريحٌ يكادُ الماءُ مِنها يُجْمُدُ

The barren mountain when winds blow

Becomes so cold water nearly freezes

والتارِكُ القِرْنَ الكَميَّ مُجَدَّلاً

يَوْمَ الكَرِيهَةِ والقَنا يَتَقَصَّدُ

The one who leaves his arched bow on days of war

While the enemy approaches with purpose

وتَراهُ يَرْفُلُ في الحديدِ كَأَنَّهُ

ذُو لِبْدَةٍ شَثْنُ البراثِنِ أَرْبَدُ

You see him clad in iron armor as if

He is solid with firm joints and a strong frame

عَمُّ النبيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَصَفِيُّهُ

وَردَ الحِمامَ فطابَ ذاكَ المَوْرِدُ

The Prophet's uncle, his chosen one

Who restored purity to that watering place

وَأَتَى المَنِيَّةَ مُعَلِماً في أُسْرَةٍ

نَصَرُوا النبيَّ ومِنْهُمُ المسْتَشْهِدُ

And met his death while defending the Prophet

Among martyrs who supported him dutifully

ولَقَدْ إخالُ بذاكَ هِنْداً بُشِّرَتْ

لتُميتَ داخِلَ غُصَّةٍ لا تَبْرُدُ

I wish the enemies who were given tidings with his death

Would die feeling an unquenched bitterness

مِمّا صَبَحْنَا بالعَقَنْقَلِ قَوْمَها

يوماً تَغيَّبَ فيهِ عَنْها الأَسْعَدُ

Due to how we routed them with spears

On a day when good fortune deserted them

وبِبِئرِ بَدْرٍ إذْ يَرُدُّ وُجُوهَهُمْ

جِبْريلُ تَحْتَ لوائِنا وَمُحَمَّدُ

At Badr's well when Gabriel

Turned back their faces under our banner and Muhammad

حَتَّى رأيتُ لَدَى النَّبيِّ سَراتَهُمْ

قِسْمَيْنِ يَقتُلُ مَنْ نَشاء وَيطْرُدُ

Until I saw their heads before the Prophet

As two halves we kill and repel at will

فأقامَ بالعَطَنِ المُعَطَّنِ مِنْهُمُ

سَبْعون عتبةُ مِنْهمُ والأسْوَدُ

Seventy chiefs of them remained in the valley

Including Utbah and Al-Aswad

وابنُ المغيرَةِ قَدْ ضَرَبْنا ضَرْبَةً

فوقَ الوريدِ لها رَشاشٌ مُزْبِدُ

And we dealt Ibn Mughirah a fatal strike

With spraying blood from his neck's vein

وَأُيَّةُ الجُمَحيُّ قَوَّمَ مَيْلَهُ

عَضْبٌ بأيدي المؤمنينَ مُهَنَّدُ

And Uyyah Al-Jumahi steadied his stance

With a sword gripped by the faithful forcefully

فأتاكَ فَلُّ المشرِكينَ كَأَنَّهُمْ

والخيلُ تَثْفُنُهمْ نَعامٌ شُرَّدُ

So their defeated king came to you as if they were

Ostriches scattered by horses speedily

شتَّانَ مَنْ هُوَ في جَهَنَّمَ ثاوياً

أبداً وَمَنْ هُوَ في الجِنانِ مخلَّدُ

Vast is the difference between one who in Hell resides forever

And one who in Gardens is eternally blissful
