مَغيبُكَ سَيفَ اللَهِ في غِمدِكَ الثَرى

دَليلٌ بِأَنَّ اللَهَ لا شَكَّ واحِدُ

Your absence is like the sword of God sheathed in earth

Proof that God is undoubtedly One

فَلَو أَنَّ فَذّاً خَلَدَتهُ فُتوحُهُ

لَما كانَ في الأَقوامِ إِلاكَ خالِدُ

For if conquest had made a hero immortal

Among peoples, none but you would have been immortal
