وَقَدْ كَفَى مِنْ بَدْئِهِ ما قَدْ بَدا

وَإِنْ ثَنَى فِي العَوْدِ كانَ أَحْمَدا

What he began was enough to manifest

And if he returns, he will be most excellent

لَمْ يَغْنَ بِالعَلْياءِ إِلَّا سَيِّدا

وَلا شَفَى ذا الغَيِّ إِلَّا ذُو الهُدَى

None cured the lofty except the master

None cured the lost except the guide

وَعِزُّنا عِزٌّ إِذا تَوَحَّدا

تَثَاقَلَتْ أَرْكَانُهُ وَاعلَوَّدَا

And our strength is strength when united

Its pillars grew firm and elevated

كُنْتُمْ كَمَن أَدْخَلَ في جُحْرٍ يَدا

فَأَخْطَأ الأَفْعَى وَلَاقَى الأَسْوَدا

You were like one whose hand entered a burrow

Missing the snake but meeting the lion
