اللَّهُ أًكبرُ دينُ اللَّهِ مُنتَصرٌ
اللَّهُ أَكبرُ سَيفُ الدّينِ مَسلولُ
Allah is the Greatest, the religion of Allah is victorious
Allah is the Greatest, the sword of religion unsheathed
اللَّهُ أَكبَرُ دينُ الشِّركِ مُنكسِرٌ
اللَّه أَكبرُ دينُ الكفرِ مَخذولُ
Allah is the Greatest, the religion of polytheism is defeated
Allah is the Greatest, the religion of disbelief is humiliated
وَالحَمدُ للَّهِ ذي الآلاءِ سيّدِنا
مَنْ مَنّ بِالنّصرِ حيثُ النّصرُ مأمولُ
And praise be to Allah, Lord of bounties, our Master
Who granted victory when victory was hoped for
وَأَيَّد الدّينَ بَعدَ الضَّعفِ مِن فِئةٍ
قَد أَشرَكَت وَبدَت فيها التّهاويلُ
And aided religion after weakness from a group
That associated others with God and superstitions appeared among them
فَتِلكَ عُصْبةُ كُفرٍ في الدُّنى ظَهَرت
بِكُلِّ كَلبٍ غَدا لم يَحكِهِ الغُولُ
So that was a band of disbelief which appeared in the world
With every dog that came out was not restrained by any wolf
تَفِرُّ مِنهُ أُسودُ الغابِ حَيثُ سَطا
وتختَشي سَهمَه الطيرُ الأبابيلُ
The beasts of the forest flee from him wherever he traveled
And the birds, even the cranes, fear his arrows
يَكِرُّ كَرَّ الضّواري وهيَ عادِيةٌ
وَلَيسَ يُجهِدُه كَدٌّ وتثقيلُ
He attacks like preying wolves while they are fleeing prey
And he is not troubled by any fatigue or burden
لا يَعرِفُ المَوتَ لَو دارَت سُلافتهُ
وعمَّ في قومه جَرحٌ وتقتيلُ
He knows not death even if his sword drips with blood
And death encompasses his people with wounds and killings
يا وَيلَهم مِن غُواةٍ بِئسَ ما صَنعوا
لِلعزِّ فيما بِهِ ذُلٌّ وتَذليلُ
O woe unto them from the tyrants, evil is what they have done
For glory - that which brings disgrace and humiliation
ضلُّوا السّبيلَ أَضلَّ اللَّهُ سَعيَهُمُ
وَكانَ في رَأيهم لا شكَّ تضليلُ
They have lost the way, and so God made their endeavor go astray
And in their view there was no doubt, straying
تَبَدَّلوا بِقَبيحِ الكفرِ أقبَحهُ
وَلَذَّ عِندَهمُ في الكفرِ تَبديلُ
They substituted the ugliness of disbelief for the ugliest of it
And the worst disbelief seemed good to them in exchange
كَانوا نَصارى فَصاروا مِن غَباوَتهم
دَهرِيّةً عَهدُهم بِالنقضِ محلولُ
They were Christians, but due to their stupidity became
Secularists whose promises were soon broken
لا بَعثَ لا حَشرَ تَقضيهِ عَقائِدُهم
ولا زَبورَ وتوراةٌ وإِنجيلُ
No resurrection, no gathering, their beliefs decreed
No Psalms, Torah or Bible
وَلا نَبِيَّ ولا عيسى ومريَمُهُ
وَلا مَلائِكةً كلّا وَجِبريلُ
No prophet, no Jesus and his mother Mary
No angels - none of that and not Gabriel
هُمُ الفِرنسيسُ أَفنى اللَّهُ دَولَتهم
ونالَها من شديدِ البَطش تزويلُ
They are the French who God destroyed their state
And it was seized from the iron grip forcefully peeled away
بالفَرْمَسونَ تَسمَّوا بِئسَ ما اِبتَدعوا
فَإِنَّهُ بِعَظيمِ الجهلِ مَشمولُ
They named themselves Freemasons - wretched is what they innovated
For it is enveloped in great ignorance
كَبيرُهم لَم يَكُن نُمروذ يُشبهُهُ
جبراً وعادٌ وفرعونُ المباهيلُ
Their leader was no less than Nimrod resembling him
In tyranny - and Aad and Pharaoh the arrogant
لَقَد تَسمّى بِبونوبارْتي فبَغى
ورُدَّ بِالبغيِ غَيظاً وَهوَ مَخجولُ
He named himself Bonaparte but then rebelled
And was repelled in his rebellion angrily humiliated
وَقَد دَعا للّذي قَد رامَ عِترتَهُ
وَغَرَّهم مِنهُ تَمويهٌ وَتَدجيلُ
And he appealed against the one whose progeny he attempted
And they were deceived by his tricks and plotting
وَقَد طَغوا وَبغَوا إِذ بِالفَسادِ سعَوا
وَلَم يَكُن لهُمُ عَن ذاكَ تَحويلُ
They transgressed and rebelled when they pursued corruption
And they had no way to change that course
وَصَنَّفوا حِيَلاً بِالمَكرِ قَد عُضِدَت
وَأيَّدَ المَكرَ تَلبيسٌ وَتَخييلُ
They devised tricks with deceit which were supported
And supported the deceit with confusion and imagination
وَدّوا اِتخاذَ بِلاد المُسلمينَ وما
دَرَوْا بِأَنَّ الّذي وَدّوهُ مَحظولُ
They intended to take the lands of the Muslims and what
They intended - it is God who foiled it
فَفي غَرايب جاؤوا مِصرَ في سُفُنٍ
قَد كانَ مِنها لِعَينِ الشَّمسِ تَظليلُ
So in ships they came to Egypt in an uncanny manner
Ships whose sails shaded the eyes of the sun
تَملَّكوها بِحَربٍ لا مثالَ لَهُ
وَلَيسَ يَحكيهِ تَشبيهٌ وَتَمثيلُ
They seized it through war unprecedented
Which cannot be told in similes and examples
بِها أَقاموا لِشَهرِ الصّومِ في أُهَبٍ
لَقَد تَبدّى بِها لِلحَربِ تَكميلُ
In it they stayed for the month of fasting preparing
For war - the army there was depleted
شَدّوا المَطايا بِذاكَ الشَّهرِ وَاِتجَهوا
نَحوَ الشآمِ الّتي فيها الأَراجيلُ
They marched their horses in that month and headed
Towards Syria in which are the monasteries
جاؤوا العَريشَ وَحَطّوا عِندَ قَلعَتِها
مِثلَ الجَرادِ وَهُم قَومٌ مَفاسيلُ
They came to El Arish and camped at its fortress
Like locusts - a disreputable ruinous people
فَحارَبوها مِنَ الأيّامِ عَشرتَها
حَرباً شَديداً لَديهِ الجَيشُ مَفلولُ
They fought it for ten days - the battle was fierce
The Muslim army there was overwhelmed
فَسلَّمَ المُسلِمونَ الغُرُّ قَلعَتَها
بِالصُّلحِ إِذ قَلَّ مثل الماءِ مَأكولُ
The Muslims then surrendered the fortress with a treaty
When the water supply there was exhausted
وَبَعدَ ذا قَد أتَوْا يافا الَّتي سَعِدَت
بِمَن بِها مِن ذَوي الإِسلام إذ نيلوا
After that they came to Jaffa which was blessed
With the Muslims that were in it when they attained
داروا بِها حَلَقاً إِذ قالَ قائِلُهم
هُمّوا عَلَيها وَفي أَقوى الوغَى ميلوا
They incited each other saying: attack it!
And plunge into the heat of fierce fighting
فَحارَبوها مِنَ الأيّامِ أَربعَةً
وَقَد قَضى اللَّهُ ما لا فيهِ تَبديلُ
We will take it in three days and seize the land
Far and wide - it's length included in its breadth
فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ قَضى أَمراً ينفّذُهُ
وَأَمرُه حينما يَقضيهِ مَفعولُ
Vain hopes spoke to him about seizing it
And the words of hopes are nothing but delusions
فَفي المَدافِعِ يَومَ العيدِ قَد فَتَحوا
في السّورِ باباً أَتَت منهُ العَراقيلُ
He thought Jaffa like Egypt or like Malta
Or like Rome - and thinking is imagining
وَمِنهُ قَد دَخَلوا وَقتَ الزّوالِ وَقَد
جَدَّ القتالُ وَقَلَّ القالُ وَالقيلُ
Doesn't he know that Jaffa is not like those
Except one feeble of mind and insane?
وَالحَربُ قامَت على ساقٍ وَقَد حَمِيَت
وَالمَوتُ حينئذٍ لا شكَّ مَقبولُ
Doesn't he know that Jaffa's fire has increased
And whoever intends to seize it, is burned?
حَيثُ الرَّصاصُ كَقَطرِ الوَبلِ مُتَّسِقاً
وَالسَّيفُ مِن كَثرَةِ التفتيكِ مَفلولُ
Doesn't he know that the best of prophets entirely
Is at its gate - opened and locked?
كَم قَتَّلوا غِلْمةً فيها وَغانِيةً
وَخَرَّ في الأَرضِ لَيثٌ وَهوَ مثكولُ
Doesn't he know about the father of the two grandsons, our Master
In his tower drew out an sharpened sword?
كَم مُستَغيثٍ يُنادي بِالتوجُّعِ يا
لَلّهِ لِلمُسلِمينَ الغرِّ إِذْ نيلوا
Likewise a man of repute saw in his dream
Two who resemble them - and this is conveyed
وَالحَربُ دامَت سِجالاً غيرَ فاتِرةٍ
إِلى الدُّجى وَظلامُ اللَّيلِ مَسدولُ
Doesn't he know that the lion of the forest is inside it
And that Jaffa for the lions of battle is the thickets?
فَما أَتى الصُّبحُ إِلّا وَالَّذينَ بقوا
هَذا جَريحٌ وذا بِالأَسرِ مَكبولُ
Doesn't he know that in it is Dhughma a brave hero
Steadfast of heart whom no horrors can shake
وَأَمَّنوا مَن بِها مِن بَعدِ ما نَهَبوا
ما في يَدَيهم وَما في الأَرضِ مَجعولُ
Ashhab the Baz didn't frighten him
The buzzing of insects, a sparrow or a starling
وَبَعدَ تَأمينِهم خانوا عَساكِرَها
وَكُلُّهم بِرَصاصِ الكُّفرِ مَقتولُ
So how can the horrors of battle frighten a man
Created from battle, its affairs innate within him?
وَاللَّه يجبرُ يافا في مُصيبَتِها
مِنْ فَضلِهِ وَهوَ مَرجوٌّ وَمَأمولُ
He is the slaughtering lion, their executioner
With the Indian sword nothing makes him waver
وَقَد تَقَوَّى عُداة الدّينِ إِذ مَلَكوا
يافا بِشَيءٍ بِهِ لِلحَربِ تَحصيلُ
When the enemies saw him pounce towards them
They thought him an army - in awe they recoiled
حازوا مَدافعَها وَالقوتَ أَجمَعهُ
وكلُّ ذاكَ إِلى عَكّاءَ مَزمولُ
He turned horses with his encouragement into lions
From whose might the real lions flee
وَبادِروا السَّيرَ مِن يافا وَقَد قَرُبَت
آجالُهم وَلَها قَد حَلَّ تَأجيلُ
How many towns came continually to unblemished Jaffa
To perform jihad, urged on enthusiastically
كَأَنَّما أَسرَعتْ فيهم مَنيَّتُهم
في مَرجِ عكّا الّتي فيها البَهاليلُ
How many went to battle the enemies sincerely
Spending wealth and soul, no threat hinders him
وَهُم يُساقونَ لِلمَوتِ الَّذي كَرِهوا
وَما لَهُم عَنهُ تَقديمٌ وَتَهليلُ
How many volunteered on the day of slaughter, sacrificing
A polytheist - and the sacrifice is accepted
في مَرجِها أَخبرَ الهادي بِذَبحِهِمُ
وَعَنهُ ذا الأمرُ مَرويٌّ وَمَنقولُ
How many ended the siege by slaughtering a ram
And taking its head separated
وَصَحَّ ما قالَهُ المَصدوقُ سيِّدُنا
وَقَولُه الصّدقُ لا يَعروهُ تَبديلُ
How often did the Slaughterer raid the enemies calculating
Neither wealth nor self preventing him from the horrors
نادى كَبيرُهُمُ فيهِم يُحرِّضُهم
عَلى القتالِ وَمِنهُ الجهدُ مَبذولُ
How abundant were those he gathered and supported
While the gathering of their enemies was paltry
وَقالَ أَلقوا عَلى عكّاءَ هِمَّتَكم
في حَربِها وَبِمَيدانِ الوَغى جُولوا
Every time the battles raged he showed his resilience
And with veneration, reverence for him intensified
فَإِنّها لِبِلادِ المُسلمينَ غَدَت
حِصناً لَدَيهِ لَقَد ذَلَّ الرآبيلُ
He bombarded them with multiples of what they bombarded
And their hopes of hitting were always denied
فَإِنْ أَخَذتُم لِعكّا بِالقتالِ نَنَلْ
ما كانَ فيهِ لَنا إِرْبٌ وَتَأميلُ
For ten days they bombarded Jaffa during their war
The sparks of shells rose like clouds providing shade
وَفي ثَلاثٍ مِنَ الأَيّامِ نَأخُذُها
وَنَملكُ الأَرضَ عَرضاً ضمنهُ الطولُ
As if their days when the shells rose up
Were nights of winter, wings folded over them
وَحَدَّثته الأَماني في تَمَلُّكِها
وما أَحاديثُها إِلّا الأَباطيلُ
So that nothing can be seen but lightning
And thunder to the lost providing some light
وَظَنَّ عَكّا كَمِصرٍ أو كمالِطةٍ
أَو مِثلَ روميّةٍ وَالظَنُّ تخييلُ
And constant downpour of bullets continuously
From us - cut off and melted down
أَما دَرى أَنَّ عكّا لا يُشبِّهُها
بِذاكَ إِلّا سَخيفُ العَقلِ مَخبولُ
The fighting does not stop for a time or an hour
And since it started there has been no cessation
أَما دَرى أَنّ عَكّا نارُها كَثُرت
وَمَن نَوى أَخذَها بِالنارِ مَشعولُ
That is a war unmatched in the past
Not explicitly conveyed like reports
أَما دَرى أَنَّ خَيرَ الرُّسلِ قاطِبةً
في بابِها وَهوَ مَفتوحٌ وَمَقفولُ
The infant, still a child, becomes grey-haired from the terror
And its horrors make the sane mind insane
أَما دَرى بِأَبي السِّبطَينِ سَيّدنا
في بُرجِهِ سَلَّ سَيفاً وَهوَ مَصقولُ
How many charges did they make raising their ladders
Their number in summary would be prolonged
كَذاكَ شامَهُما في نَومِهِ رَجلٌ
مِنَ الثّقاتِ وَهَذا عَنهُ مَنقولُ
How many times they climbed its walls but fell
Dead and were afflicted with death and killings
أَما دَرَى أن أُسْدَ الغابِ داخلَها
وَأَنّ عَكّا لِآسادِ الوغى غيلُ
How many towers collapsed from their cannons
As if after being built they immediately crumbled
أَما دَرَى أَنّ فيها ضَيغَماً بطلاً
ثَبتَ الفُؤادِ وَلَم يُزعِجْه تَهويلُ
How many walls fell from their bombs
And how many battlements tottered and leaned
وَلَم يَكُن أَشهبُ البازاتِ يُرهبُه
طَنُّ الذُّبابِ وعصفورٌ وعسقولُ
If the wall collapses, the Slaughterer is its guardian
For he is the wall, and the wall, the monasteries!
وَكَيفَ يَرهَبُ أَهوالَ الوغى رَجلٌ
مِنَ الوغى وأُمورِ الحَربِ مَجبولُ
He hurls cannons like thunder in their loudness
Or lightning strikes - intense and frequent
وَإِنّهُ الأسدُ الجزّارُ ذابِحُهم
بِصَيْقَل حَدٍّ لا يَعروهُ تَفليلُ
When fired into the darkness like shooting stars
Plunging and as if at night they were lamps
وَقَد سرَت عُصبةُ الإِشراكِ هَرولةً
لِنَحوِ عكّا وما فيه العَقابيلُ
How many infidels were blown into the air wickedly
And how many accursed were torn apart unknown
وَفي ثَلاثٍ بِشوّالٍ وَعَشرتِهِ
جاؤوا وطالِعُهم بِالنَّحسِ مَوصولُ
With the cannons he burns and grills them
Well-cooked for the birds' consumption facilitated
حَطّوا عَلَيها وَهُم كَالنّملِ عِدَّتُهم
وَالنَّملُ مِن ضَعفِهِ بِالوَطءِ مَقتولُ
He feeds their flesh to the hungry birds
And the birds find that meat palatable
وَمُذْ أَتَوا حَفروا في مَرجِها حُفراً
كانَت لُحوداً لَهم فيها التَّهاويلُ
How many shells burned them in the air
Where burning them was documented
وَاللَّهُ أَوقَعَهم فيما لَهُ حَفَروا
وَكانَ فيهِ لَهُم تَنكيئٌ وَتَنكيلُ
And whenever the fighting intensified he was joyous
Eyes delighted with good tidings intoxicated
وَصارَ في مَرجِها بِالحَفرِ أَوديةٌ
دَمُ العِدا سالَ فيها وَهوَ مَطلولُ
He brandishes his sharpened sword at them
As if a lion in attack or an elephant
في كُلِّ وادٍ يَسيرُ الضَّخمُ من إِبلٍ
بِحملِهِ الضّخمِ لا يُثنيهِ مَحمولُ
He is like Antara whose courage became famous
The cowardly and ignoble in awe of him
تَتَرَّسوا مِن مَخافٍ في حَفائِرِهم
وَذاكَ يَفعَلُه لِلخَوفِ إِجفيلُ
Whenever they fought he showed his composure
And with veneration and reverence he was regarded
وَفي مَتاريسهِم صَفّوا مَدافِعَهُم
وَكانَ يَجمَعُهم لِلحَربِ تَطبيلُ
How often the Slaughterer raided them with good intentions
Neither wealth nor life making him waver
وَقارَبوا سورَهُ والسّورُ راكبُه
أُسْدٌ وَلَو أَنَّهم وَقتَ الوغى ميلُ
How great was the number he gathered and supported
While the gathering of the enemies was fractured
وَحاصَروها بِتَضييقٍ محاصَرةً
يُدَكُّ من حَملها قافٌ وزهلولُ
However much they fought he displayed perseverance
And with reverence and respect he was venerated
وَحارَبوها حُروباً لَم تَكُن سَلفت
وَلا رَواها بِأَوهَى الوضعِ مَجهولُ
And he repelled them with multiples of what they repelled
فَكَم ألوفٌ مِنَ الكُلّاتِ قَد ضَربوا
وَعَدُّها فيهِ بِالإِجمالِ تَطويلُ
While from them hopes were always denied
Sixty days they stayed and then four
وَلَيس يُحصَرُ تَعداداً رَصاصُهمُ
وَلَيسَ يُحصيهِ إِجمالٌ وَتَفصيلُ
In the meadow of Acre but they did not go
They utilized all their schemes and means
وَقَد عَلاها لَدى أَيّامِ حَربِهِمِ
مُثارُ نَقْعٍ بِهِ كَالغيمِ تَظليلُ
But none benefited them or came to their aid
Allah destroyed over half of them
كَأنَّ أَيّامَهم حَيثُ العَجاجُ عَلا
لَيلُ الشّتاءِ عَلَيهِ الجُنحُ مَسدولُ
And repelled those who escaped in humiliation
They fled by night with no stars
فَلَيسَ يدرك فيهِ غَيرُ صاعِقةٍ
وغيرُ برقٍ به ذو اللُّبِّ ضِلّيلُ
Secretly their hearts filled with terror
Ten miles in the time they took to flee
وَغَيرُ وَبْلِ رَصاصٍ سَحَّ مُتّصلاً
دَوماً مِنّا وَهوَ مَقطوعٌ وَمَحلولُ
As if walking the same distance takes a year
They headed towards Egypt where they resolved
لا تَفتُرُ الحَربُ في وَقتٍ وَلا زمَنٍ
وَلَيسَ في شَأنِها مُذْ كانَ تَعطيلُ
To flee in terror of the Slaughterer, terrified
By morning only their dwellings could be seen
فَتِلكَ حَربٌ خلَت عمّا يشاكِلُها
وَلَم يُصرِّحْ بِها كَالنَّقلِ مَعقولُ
Thanks to God as disbelief was humiliated
God supported the Slaughterer against a small band
يَشيبُ مِنها الوليدُ الطفلُ مِن فَزَعٍ
وَهَوْلُها مِنهُ رَبُّ العقلِ مَخبولُ
Through him supported and helped
For he strengthened the religion of God from weakness
كَم هَجمَةٍ وَضَعوا فيها سَلالِمَهم
وَما بِهِ لِصعودِ السُّورِ تَوسيلُ
He is one who for God has unsheathed his sword
If not for him, the lands of the Muslims would have
وَكَم عَلَوا سورَها مِن مرّةٍ وغدَوْا
صَرعى وحَلَّ بِهِم فَتكٌ وَتَقتيلُ
Become the French's kingdom, no way to revert it
And the Muslims would have had two states thereafter
وَكَم تَهدَّمَ بُرجٌ مِن مَدافِعِهم
كَأَنَّه عقبَ التّشييدِ هُذلولُ
One prisoner, another by the sword killed
وَكَم تَساقطَ سورٌ مِن قَنابرهم
وَكَم تَجَندلَ قِرْمٌ وَهوَ مَتلولُ
But Allah, the Lord of bounties, saved them
And the blessing encompassed where sought
وَالسّورُ إِنْ هُدَّ فَالجزّارُ حافِظُها
فَإِنَّهُ السّورُ والسّورُ الأراجيلُ
May God reward him for this religion best
As long as glorifying and praising remains
يَرمي قَنابِر مِثلَ الرّعدِ صَيحتُها
أَوِ الصّواعِقِ قَصفاً وَهيَ شِمليلُ
كَأَنّها حينَ تُرمى في الدُّجى شُهبٌ
تَنقَضُّ أَو أَنَّها لَيلاً قناديلُ
كَم طارَ في الجَوِّ مِنها كافِرٌ أشِر
وَكَم تَمزَّقَ مَلعونٌ وَمَبهولُ
وَفي المَدافِعِ يَشويهِم ويُنضِجُهم
وَالنُّضْجُ فيهِ لِأَكلِ الطّيرِ تَسهيلُ
يُقري بِلَحمِهِمُ الأَطيارَ جائِعَةً
وطابَ للطيرِ من ذا اللحمِ مأكولُ
وَكَم لُغُومٍ بها في الجَوِّ أحرقَهم
وَكانَ فيها لِحُكمِ الحَرقِ تَسجيلُ
وَكُلَّما حَمِيَت أَوطاسُ حَربِهِم
فَطَرْفُهُ فَرحاً بِالبِشرِ مَكحولُ
وَيَنتَضي سَيفَه المَصقولَ نَحوَهُمُ
كَأَنّهُ اللَّيثُ إِذ يَسطو أَوِ الفيلُ
وَعَنتَرٌ مَنْ لَقَد شاعَت شَجاعَتُهُ
لَديهِ لا شَكَّ ذو جُبْنٍ وَصِمْليلُ
إِذا رَأَته العِدا قَد كَرَّ نَحوَهُمُ
ظَنُّوهُ جَيشاً وَمِن إِجلالِه هِيلوا
قَد صَيَّرَ الفَسْلَ مِن تَحريضِه أسَداً
تَفرُّ مِن بَأسِهِ الأُسْدُ الرآبيلُ
كَم حَجَّ قِرْمٌ إِلى عَكّا الّتي اِحتُرِمَت
يَنوي الجِهادَ وَقَد أَزجاهُ تَعجيلُ
كَم بائِعٍ نَفسَه للَّهِ مُحتسِبٍ
وَقتَ الحروبِ وَمنهُ المالُ مَبذولُ
وَكَم تَقَرَّبَ يَومَ النَّحرِ منتدِبٌ
بِنَحرِهِ مُشرِكاً وَالنّحرُ مَقبولُ
وَكَم تَحلَّلَ مِن إِحصارِهِ رَجُلٌ
بِذَبحِ عِلْجٍ وَمِنهُ الرَّأسُ مَفصولُ
وَكَم غَزا في العِدا الجَزّارُ مُحتَسِباً
بِالمالِ وَالنّفسِ لا يَثنيه تَهويلُ
كَم كانَ في جَمعِهِ مِن كَثرَةٍ نُصِرَت
وَكانَ في جَمعِهِم ذي الكسرِ تقليلُ
وَكلَّما حارَبوا أَبدى تَجلُّدَهُ
وَقَد عَلاهُ مَعَ الإِجلالِ تَبجيلُ
وَقَد رَماهُم بِأَضعافٍ مُضاعفةٍ
مِمّا رَمَوهُ وَمِنهُم خابَ تَأميلُ
سِتينَ يَوماً أَقاموا ثمَّ أَربَعَةً
في مَرجِ عَكّا فَما زالوا وَلا زيلوا
وَأَظهَروا ما لَدَيهم مِن مَكائدِهم
فلم تُفِدهم ولا وافاهُمُ السُّولُ
وَأَهلَكَ اللَّهُ مِنهُم فَوقَ نِصفِهم
وَرَدَّ مَن فَرَّ مِنهُم وَهوَ مَخذولُ
وَلّوا فِراراً بِلَيلٍ لا نُجومَ لَهُ
سِرّاً وَقَلبُهُم بِالرُّعبِ مَشمولُ
مِنَ الفَراسِخِ عَشرٌ حينَما هَربوا
كَأَنّها حينَما يَمشونَها ميلُ
تَوجَّهوا نَحوَ مصرٍ حيثُ عزمُهمُ
بالرُّعب من خشية الجزّار مقطولُ
وَأَصبَحوا لا تُرى إِلّا مسَاكِنهم
وَالحَمدَ للَّهِ حَيثُ الكفرُ مخجولُ
وَأيّدَ السّيِّد الجزّارَ في فِئةٍ
قَليلَةٍ وَهوَ بِالتّأييدِ مَنحولُ
فَإِنَّهُ شادَ دينَ اللَّهِ مِن وَهَنٍ
وَإِنَّهُ مُرهَفٌ للَّه مسْلولُ
لَولاهُ كانَت بِلادُ المُسلِمينَ غَدَت
مُلكَ الفِرنسيسَ لا يَعروهُ تحويلُ
وَالمُسلِمونَ لَهُم حالانِ حينَئذٍ
هَذا أَسيرٌ وذا بِالسّيفِ مقتولُ
وَلَكن اللَّهُ ذو الأَلطافِ سَلَّمَهُم
وَعَمَّ بِاللُّطفِ حَيثُ اللُّطفُ مَسؤولُ
واللَّهُ يَجزيهِ عَن ذا الدِّينِ خَيرَ جزا
ما دامَ في الكَونِ تَسبيحٌ وتَهليلُ
