مَنَعنا الرَسولَ رَسولَ المَليكِ
بِبيضٍ تَلَألأُ لمع البُروقِ
We protected the Messenger, the Messenger of the Sovereign,
The messenger prevented us, the messenger of the King
With bright swords that gleam like lightning,
With shining white that gleamed like lightning
بِضَربٍ يُذَبِّبُ دونَ النِهابِ
حذارَ الوَثائِرِ وَالخَنفَقيقِ
With blows that ward off plunder,
With blows that pierce without mercy
For fear of vendettas and dire calamity.
Beware of rebellion and the clashing of swords
أَذُبُّ وَأَحمي رَسولَ المَليكِ
حِمايَةَ حانٍ عَلَيهِ شَفيقِ
I defend and protect the Messenger of the Sovereign,
I deter and protect the messenger of the King
With the protection of one tender and compassionate toward him.
As a devoted guardian, caring for him
وَما إِن أَدُبُّ لِأَعدائِهِ
دَبيبَ البِكارِ حذارَ الفَنيقِ
And I do not creep toward his enemies
And I do not deter his enemies
As young camels creep in fear of the prized bull camel;
With the prowling of hyenas, beware of treachery
وَلَكِن أَزيرُ لَهُم سامِياً
كَما زارَ لَيثٌ بِغيلٍ مَضيقِ
But I roar at them, standing tall,
Rather I visit upon them loftily
As a lion roared in a narrow thicket.
As a lion visited a narrow valley
