أَكثَرَ موسى غَيظَ حُسّادِهِ

وَزَيَّنَ الأَرضَ بِأَولادِهِ

Moses angered his enviers greatly

And adorned the earth with his children

وَجاءَنا مِن صُلبِهِ سَيِّدٌ

أَصيَدُ في تَقطيعِ أَجدادِهِ

And there came to us from his lineage a master

Adept in the art of his forefathers

فَاكتَسَتِ الأَرضُ بِهِ بَهجَةً

وَاستَبشَرَ المَلكُ بِميلادِهِ

So the earth was delighted through him

And the king rejoiced at his birth

وَابتَسَمَ المِنبَرُ عَن فَرحَةٍ

عَلَت بِها ذُروَةُ أَعوادِهِ

And the pulpit smiled with joy

That raised the summit of its poles

كَأَنَّني بَعدَ قَليلٍ بِهِ

بَينَ مَواليهِ وَقُوّادِهِ

It was as if after a little while through him

I was between his loyalists and leaders

في مَحفِلٍ تَخفُقُ راياتُهُ

قَد طَبَّقَ الأَرضَ بِأَجنادِهِ

In a gathering where his banners fluttered

Having covered the earth with his soldiers
