هُنا يا سَراةَ الأَزْدِ حُطُّوا رِحالَكُمْ

فما أطيبَ المثوَى وما أشرفَ الحِمَى

For how pleasant is this abode and how noble this refuge

For whoever hopes to succeed and gain

هنا البِرُّ والتَّقوى هُنا الخيرُ كُلُّه

لِمَنْ كانَ يرجو أن يفوزَ وَيغنما

Seeks other than it, a home or encampment

Come now, O son of Abdullah, focus your eyes and kindle

هُنا المنزلُ الميمونُ ما من مُوَفَّقٍ

يُريدُ سِواهُ مَنزلاً أو مُخَيَّما

From the light that illuminates what was dark to them

God has guided you, you are a seer

أجِلْ يا ابنَ عبدِ اللهِ عينَيْكَ واقْتَبِسْ

مِنَ النُّورِ ما يَجلو الغياهِبَ عنهما

The best of all people in the world altogether

Your Lord has guided you with it, His creation perceiving

تبيَّنْ هَداكَ الله إنّك ناظرٌ

أجلَّ بني الدُّنيا جميعاً وأعظما

So He has granted with it a clear light and blessed

And entrusted you leadership of the people, pressing onward

هَداكم به رَبٌّ تَدراكَ خَلْقَهُ

فجادَ به نُوراً مُبيناً وأنْعَما

With the men who come after, though blind

Jarash complained of the length of the siege, but not

وولاكَ أمرَ القومِ تمضِي مُجاهداً

بهم مَنْ يَلِيهم من رجالٍ ذَوِي عَمَى

Did your resolves complain, which God has targeted who He targeted

You returned intending trickery, so the illusion

شَكَتْ جَرَشٌ طولَ الحِصَارِ وما اشْتَكَتْ

لكم هِمَمٌ يرمِي بها اللَّهُ مَن رَمَى

Of harm perturbed its builder, who imagined

Sakhr saw in their talk and your affliction

رجعتم تُريدونَ المكيدةَ فَاعْتَرى

أذى الوهمِ من عُمَّارِها من تَوهّما

Scenes that shook him, so he greeted and surrendered

Were you as they supposed, fearing their might?

رأى شَكَرٌ من خطبِهم وبلائِكُمْ

مشاهِدَ هَزَّتْهُ فحيَّا وسَلّما

Should it not suffice them to mock the sword and blood?

They are God's sacrifices, gone astray, so what can they do

أكنتم كما ظنّوا تخافونَ بأسَهُمْ

ألم يَكْفِهِمْ أن يُضحِكوا السَّيْفَ والدَّما

Except meet the slaughter, an unavoidable decree?

Thus spoke the truthful one, the righteous, he

هُمُ البُدْنُ بُدْنُ اللهِ ضَلَّتْ فمالها

سِوَى النَّحرِ تَلْقاهُ قضاءً مُحَتَّما

Will meet what he meets of inspired words

Were they a tale about the two messengers, told

كذلك قال الصادِقُ البَرُّ إنّه

لَيُلْقِي الذي يُلْقِي من القولِ مُلْهمَا

To their people, or were they a defiant army?

The two warned them, so they desisted their misguidance

أكانَ حديثاً للرسولَيْنِ ساقه

لقومهما أم كان جَيْشاً عَرَمْرما

And said, "A messenger has come with upright religion."

And God's light filled their dwellings

هُما نبّآهم فَارْعَوَوْا عن ضلالِهم

وقالوا رسولٌ جاءَ بالدِّينِ قيِّما

Illuminating what was dark before

وأصبح نورُ اللهِ مِلءَ ديارِهم

يُضِيءُ لهم ما كانَ من قبلُ مُظْلِما
