أَلا إِنَّ حِزبَ اللَهِ لَيسَ بِمُعجِزِ

وَأَنصارُهُ في مِنعَةِ المُتَحَرِّرِ

Behold—indeed, the party of God cannot be thwarted,

and His champions possess the security of the well-fortified.

أَبى اللَهُ أَن يُعصى لِهارونَ أَمرُهُ

وَذَلَّت لَهُ طَوعاً يَدُ المُتَعَزِّزِ

God refuses to let Harun’s command be disobeyed,

and willingly before him the hand of the self-exalting was humbled.

إِذا الرايَةُ السَوداءُ راحَت أَوِ اغتَدَت

إِلى هَرِبٍ مِنها فَلَيسَ بِمُعجِزِ

When the black banner sallies forth, at dusk or at dawn,

whoever flees before it cannot escape.

أَطاعَت لِهارونَ العُداةُ لَدى الوَغى

وَكَبَّرَ لِلإِسلامِ بِندارُ هُرمُزِ

Harun’s enemies submitted to him amid the clash of battle,

and Bandār of Hormuz cried the takbīr for Islam.
