طُل بِالأميرِ لواءِ خيرِ الدينِ

باللّيثِ طُل بأسودِ أيّ عرينِ

Ask for the prince, the flag of the best of faith, Khayr al-Din

Ask for the lion, ask for the lions of any lair

وَقدُ الكواكبِ في المواكب قذفُها

قَبَسٌ يسيعُ له الرعيل لحينِ

The stars in procession cast their spears before him

A burning brand his advancing host makes its goal ere long

فَملاذُ أوزارِ الحروب لواؤهُ

وَمدى مسير العزّ والتمكينِ

The refuge of the standards of war is his standard

And the utmost range of power and victory

وَظلالهُ لِلمعلمينَ حماهم

في حَزمهم وبضيق بؤس سنينِ

And his banners give protection to the protected

In their resolve, while narrow affliction lasts for years

مَن جادَ من جاس الفوارس معلماً

مَن ناقدَ الدنيا كخير الدينِ

He who was generous from the cup of horsemen, being an exemplar

He who censured the world, like Khayr al-Din
