Claude 2

  1. لسوّارٍ عَلى الأَعداءِ سَيفٌ

    أَبادَ ذَوي العَدوَةِ فَاِضمَحَلّوا

    A sword for Al Suwar upon the enemies,

    Destroyed the hostile people so they withered away.

  2. لَقَد زَلَّت رِقابُهُم بِصُغرٍ

    فَصادَمهم شَديدُ البَأسِ صِلُّ

    Their necks certainly bent with insignificance,

    So the mighty warrior collided with them.

  3. سَقاهُم كَأسَ حَتفٍ بَعدَ كَأسٍ

    بِها نَهَلَ العَبيدُ مَعاً وَعَلُّوا

    He gave them a cup of death after a cup,

    With it the slaves and the nobles drank together.

  4. وَقَد رُفِعَت لسوّارٍ قَناةٌ

    بِها خَضَعَت رِقابُهُم وَذَلّوا

    And a canal was built for Al Suwar,

    With it their necks submitted and they were humiliated.

  5. قَناةُ المَجدِ مَركَزُها عَزيزٌ

    حَماها مَانِعٌ لا يُستَذَلُّ

    The canal of glory has a dear center,

    Protected by an undefeatable guardian.

  6. قتلت بواحدٍ سوَّار ألفاً

    وألفهمُ بواحِدنا يَقِلُّ

    Al Suwar killed a thousand with one,

    While their thousand against our one are few.

  7. فَأَكثَرُ قَتلِنا لهُم حَلالٌ

    بِما اِرتَكَبوهُ ظُلماً وَاِستَحَلّوا

    So our abundant killing of them is lawful,

    Due to their injustice and unlawfulness.

  8. أَضافَ إِلَيهمُ رَجُلٌ تَقِيٌّ

    فَجاؤوا فيهِ أَمراً ما يَحِلُّ

    A pious man joined them,

    So they came in a matter that is not lawful.

  9. فَأَوردنا رِقابَهُم سُيوفاً

    تَشُبُّ النّارُ مِنها إِذ تُسَلُّ

    So we inflicted their necks with swords,

    Fire sparks from them when they are unsheathed.

  10. فَقَد سُفِكَت دِماؤُهُم وَطُلَّت

    وَلَيسَ لَنا دَمٌ يَوماً يُطَلُّ

    Their blood was shed and sought,

    While our blood is never sought.

  11. رَواقُ المَجدِ مَضروبٌ عَلَينا

    مَنيعُ الجانِبَينِ فَما يَزِلُّ

    The porch of glory is struck upon us,

    Impregnable on both sides so it never declines.

  12. سَمَونا فَوقَ عَرشِ المَجدِ قِدماً

    وَعَرشُ المَجدِ فيهِ لَنا المَحَلُّ

    We reached above the throne of glory on foot,

    And the throne of glory belongs fully to us.

  13. وَرثنا المَجدَ عَن آباءِ صِدقٍ

    وَإِرثكم بَني العُبدانِ ذُلُّ

    We inherited glory from fathers of honesty,

    While your inheritance, O sons of slaves, is humiliation.

  14. وَأَخضَعنا رِقابَكُمُ فَذَلَّت

    فَلَيسَت ما حَييتُم تَستَقِلُّ

    And we subjugated your necks so they were humiliated,

    Never while you live will they become independent.
