أعليتَ دينَ الواحِدِ القهَّارِ
بالمشرفيةِ والقَنَا الخطَّار
You have exalted the religion of the One Almighty
With Al-Mushrifiya and the dangerous Al-Qanat
ورأى بكَ الإسلامُ قُرَّةَ عَينِهِ
وغدَت بك الغراءُ دارَ قرارِ
And Islam saw comfort in its eyes through you
And Al-Ghra became a land of stability through you
وسلكتَ من طُرقِ الهداية لاحباً
طُوبى لمن يمشي على الآثار
And you took the paths of guidance enthusiastically
Good fortune belongs to those who follow the traces
وَجَرت معاليكُم إلى الأمدِ الذي
بعُدَت مسافته على الأسفار
And your sublime deeds have flowed to the extent
Whose distance has been too far for travels
وقفت على ما قد أردت سعادةٌ
وقفت عليها خدمةُ الأقدارِ
You have attained the happiness you wanted
Your service of fate has attained it
لا تخلقُ الأيامُ جدَّةَ ملككُم
أبداً ولا تبلى على الأعصارِ
The days do not create any newness to your kingdom
Nor does time wear it down through the ages
لا غروَ أن كنتَ الأخيرَ زمانُهُ
فالفضلُ للآصالِ والأسحارِ
It is no wonder that you were the last of its era
For precedence belongs to the latecomers and the dawns
وافيتَ أندلساً فأمنَ خائفٌ
وسما لأخذِ الثارِ ربُّ الثارِ
You came to Andalusia so the frightened became secure
And the Lord of vengeance rose to take vengeance
وحللتمُ جبلَ الهُدى لحللتُمُ
منهُ عقُود عزائمِ الكفارِ
You unlocked the mountain of guidance so you unlocked
From it the knots of the infidels' resolves
جبلَ الهُدى والفتحِ والنصرِ الذي
سبقت بشائرُهُ إلى الأمصار
The mountain of guidance, victory, and triumph whose
Tidings had reached all the lands beforehand
لو بدلُوا أقدامُهم بقوادمٍ
طارُوا عن الأوطانِ كلَّ مطارِ
If they substituted their feet with racers
They would have flown from the homelands like every flier
لو راءَ مُوسى ما فعلتَ وطارِقٌ
زريا بما لهما من الآثارِ
If after Moses there was what you did and Tariq
Ziryab with what they both left of traces
أتممتَ ما قد أمَّلُوه ففاتُهُم
من نصرِ دينِ الواحِدِ القهَّارِ
You fulfilled what they had wished but missed
From the victory of the religion of the One Almighty
بعرابِ خيلٍ فوقهُنَّ أعارِبٌ
من كل مقتحمٍ على الأخطارِ
With Arabian horses atop which are desert Arabs
Fearless of every daring raider
أكرِم بهنَّ قبائلاً إقلالُها
في الحربِ يُغنيها عنِ الإكثارِ
You have honored tribes whom fighting
Suffices over proliferating in war
وانظر إذا اصطفت كتائبُها إلى
ما تحمَدُ الكُتَّابُ في الاسطارِ
And look when its brigades line up to
What writers praise in lines
لو أنها نصرت علياً لم تَرد
خَيلُ ابنِ حربٍ ساحَةَ الأنبارِ
If it had supported Ali, the horses of Ibn Harb
Would not have returned to the plains of Anbar
هم أظهرهُ معَ النبيِّ وواجِبٌ
أن يُتبِعُوا الإظهارَ بالإظهارِ
They showed it with the Prophet, and it is incumbent
To follow showing with showing
مَلِكَ المُلُوكِ لَقَد أنِفت إلى العُلا
ونظرتَ من فوقِ إلى الأقدارِ
O King of Kings, you have indeed risen to the height
And looked down from above at the foreordained
أنتَ السبيلُ إلى النجاةِ فكلنا
لولاكَ كان على شفيرٍ هارِ
You are the path to salvation, so we are all
Without you on the brink of an abyss
وجريتَ في نصرِ الإلهِ إلى مدى
يَكبُو وراءَكَ فيهِ كُلُّ مجارِ
And you have strived in supporting God to an extent
Beyond which every strider lags behind you
قد ضاقَ ذَرعُ الكُفرِ منكَ وأهلُهُ
بموفقِ الإيرادِ والإصدارِ
The disbelief has been frustrated by you and its people
By the blessing of giving and bestowing
متحمِّلٌ أعباءَ كُلِّ عظيمةٍ
بالنفعِ والإضرارِ
Bearing the burdens of every great feat
With benefit and harm
ملئت بهِ الدنيا صفاءَ بعدما
ملئت من الأقدارِ والأكدارِ
You have filled the world with serenity after
It was filled with foreordained destinies and afflictions
أخليفةَ المهديِّ دُمت مؤيداً
باللَه منتقماً من الكفار
O deputy of al-Mahdi, you have remained supported
By God, avenging the infidels
ترمي شياطينَ الأعادي في الوغى
برجومِ خيلٍ من سماءٍ غُبارِ
You pelt the devils of enemies into confusion
With the shooting stars of a horse troop in the dusty sky
روَّعت كل مروعٍ وحفظت كُل
لَ مضيعٍ وحميت كل ذمارِ
You have frightened every frightening one, and guarded every
Unattended, and protected every protege
