أبَا حَسَن ذَكَّرتَنَا العَهدَ والإِخَا

وَعَصراً مَضَى وَالشَّملُ بِالخَيرِ جَامِعُ

Aba Hasan, you reminded us of the covenant and brotherhood,

And days gone by while good unites us.

زَمَانَ اصطَحَبنَا في أمَانٍ وغِبطَةٍ

وَللَّدِينَ وَالدُّنيَا لَدَينَا مَوَاضعُ

We lived in security and bliss,

Serving faith and life in every way.

بُنُودُ ذَوِي الإِسلاَمِ تَخفِقُ أَينَمَا

تَوجَّهَتش الرَّاياتُ فَالنَّصرُ تَابِعُ

The flags of Islam raise victory and conquest,

Wherever they advance triumph follows.

فَتمَّت بِهَا النِّعما وَحُقَّ لَنَا الهَنَا

وقامَت به فيما لَدَيهِ الشَّرَائِعُ

Through them bounty came, as law decreed,

Upholding all that faith required.

وَلَسنَا نُبَرِّى النَّفسَ مَن أَمرِ سُوئِهَا

وَلَولاَهُ مَا حَلَّت عَلَينَا الفَجَائِعُ

We claim no virtue, though we've shunned all vice,

Else calamities would not have come our way.

فَإن حَالَتِ الأحوَالُ عَمَّا عَهِدتُّهَا

وَصَارَ مِنَ الأَعدا الصَّدِيقُ المُشَايعُ

Now that times have changed from what we knew,

When friend seems foe and comrade stays aloof,

وبث عنان الخَلقِ في الأَرضِ بَغيُهُم

ورَاعَت قُلُوبُ المُؤمِنينَ الرَّوَائِعُ

Wrongdoing spreads across the land unchecked,

And panic grips the hearts of all believers,

فَصَالِحَةُ العُقبَى لِكُلِّ مُوَحِّدٍ

وَإن زَعزَعَتهُ النَّائِبَاتُ الزَّعَازِعُ

There's solace for each faithful monotheist,

Though storms may buffet, shake his constancy.
