زواهرُ آيات حوينا بها العزّا

لبسنا بها التقوى ولم نلبس الخزّا

The adornments of His signs we wore, with them we adorned our honor

With them we wore piety and did not wear disgrace

زواجرُ إن يُدعى مع اللّه غيره

فمذ طَلَعتْ لم تعبد اللاتُ والعُزى

The deterrents - if others are worshipped alongside Allah

Since it rose, Lat and Uzza were not worshipped

زوى وَجهَه عنها العدو ضلالةً

فحزّت بحدّ السيف هامته حزّا

The enemy turned his face away from it out of misguidance

So it cleaved his skull with the edge of the sword, cleaving

زوالُ سماءِ العزّ كانَ بأحمد

فلم يمسك الكفار من بعده عزّا

The decline of the honor of the sky was due to Ahmad

So after him the disbelievers could not hold onto any honor

زوى بعدَ ما أهلكن عاد زمانه

فحزّوا وجزت هامهم في الوغى جزا

It wiped out, after it destroyed the people of Aad in their time

So they were cut down, and their skulls were requited in battle

زواخره أغرقن فرعون عصره

فأودى وبزّته ملابسه بزّا

Its last ones drowned Pharaoh in his time

So he perished while his garments were shredded to pieces

زواهي شياطين الضلال مدحتهم

وتلكَ التي أزتّهم للظى أزّا

The allure of the devils of misguidance, their praise

And those which led them to evil led most evilly

زواحفُ خيل اللّه تقدمُها الظبا

وسمرُ القنا لزّت جموعهم لزّا

The crawling of Allah's horses, the hyenas precede them

And the foxes have torn their groups to shreds

زواجرُ تغزو القوم في عقر دارهم

فما لهم صبرٌ إذا عاينوا الغُزّا

The deterrents raid the people in the core of their homes

So they have no patience when they witness the raiders

زوامر من غيظِ عليهم كأنها

قواصفُ هزت كل رابية هزّا

Decrees of wrath against them as if they are

Ships that shook every well-set tent
