مَن كان يُؤثِرُ أن يُجيبَ فقد دعا
عبدُ المجيدِ خليفةُ المختارِ
Whoever chose to respond has been called
Abdul Majeed, Khalifa's chosen one
لَبُّوا الخليفةَ وَاشْرَعوا لِنُفوسِكم
سَنَنَ الوفاءِ وخُطّةَ الإِيثارِ
Rally around the Caliph and embark upon
The path of loyalty and the scheme of altruism
وَقَفَ النبيُّ يَضِجُّ حول لوائِه
ويَصيحُ بالمتردّدينَ بَدارِ
The Prophet stood roaring around his banner
And shouting at the hesitant in the abode
مُدّوا الأكفَّ مُبايعينَ فإنّه
يومُ النبيِّ وموقفُ الأنصارِ
Extend your palms pledging allegiance for it is
The day of the Prophet and the stand of the Helpers
لا تَتْبَعوا المُتخلِّفين فإنّهم
جُنْدُ الغُواةِ وشِيعةُ الأغرارِ
Do not follow the deserters for they are
The army of the tyrants and followers of the deluded
يبغون دينَ المالِ في أربابِه
والدّينُ دينُ الواحدِ القهّارِ
They desire the religion of money in its lords
While religion is the religion of The Irresistible Subduer
هل صِينَ حقُّ القومِ أو مُنِعَ الحِمى
بمُساوِمينَ على الذِّمارِ تِجارِ
Has the right of the tribe been protected or the sanctuary denied
By the bargainers upon drunkenness, traders
إنّ الخلافةَ قد تَداركَ سُورَها
بأسٌ يُزيلُ شواهِقَ الأسوارِ
Indeed the Caliphate has fortified its walls
With might that destroys the lofty ramparts
عَزّتْ بأسيافِ الغُزاةِ ولن ترى
عِزَّاً كحدِّ الصّارمِ البتّار
It became strong with the swords of the conquerors and will not see
Glory like the sharp cutting sword
لمّا رَمَى القَدَرُ المُروِّعُ رُكنَها
كانوا لها جُنداً من الأقدارِ
When the terrifying fate cast its pillar
They were an army of destinies for it
أَشَهِدْتَ ما عَقدَ الهُداةُ وأَبرَمتْ
أيدي الحُماةِ الجِلَّةِ الأخيارِ
You have witnessed what the righteous leaders concluded and executed
At the hands of the esteemed, virtuous elite
فَشهِدتَ حَلَّ المُشكلاتِ على يدٍ
عَقدتْ لِواءَ الجحفلِ الجرّارِ
Thus you witnessed the solution of problems by a hand
That held the banner of the great, surging army
ورأيتَ كيف تعودُ طاغيةُ القُوى
بعد الطِّماحِ بذلّةٍ وصغَارِ
And you saw how the tyrant of powers returns
After ambition, in humiliation and smallness
رفعوا المنارَ لكلّ شعبٍ حائرٍ
أعمى المطالبِ جامحِ الأوطارِ
They raised the beacon for every wandering tribe
Blind in demands, rampant in courses
يُزجِي الرَّجاءَ بكلّ أغبرَ قاتمٍ
خافي المعالمِ طامسِ الآثارِ
It stirs hope in every gloomy, dark one
Obscure in features, erasing traces
والنّاسُ في الدُّنيا مَنارُ هدايةٍ
ومُضلَّلٌ لا يهتدي بمنارِ
And people in life are a beacon of guidance
And a misguided one who is not guided by a beacon
قُلْ للكنانةِ جَدَّ كلُّ مُجاهدٍ
ومضَى إلى الغاياتِ كلُّ مُبارِ
Tell stinginess that every holy warrior hastened
And every valiant went to the goals
لكِ في الغُزاةِ النّاهضين بقومهم
عِظةُ الشعوبِ وعبرةُ الأقطارِ
For you in the conquerors rising with their tribes
Are the admonition of nations and the lesson of regions
غضبوا فما ركبوا إلى استقلالهم
إلا عُبابَ دمٍ ولُجَّةَ نارِ
They raged but did not ride to their independence
Except on seas of blood and oceans of fire
ليس التغلُّبُ في الحياةِ لِمُدبرٍ
ذُلُّ الحياةِ عُقوبةُ الإدبارِ
Prevailing in life does not belong to a schemer
The humiliation of life is the punishment of retreating
المجدُ إقدامٌ ونهضةُ ثائرٍ
ما المجدُ مسكنةٌ وطولُ قرارِ
Glory is audacity and the awakening of a rebel
Glory is not meekness and prolonged stability
إن الشُّعوبَ إذا استقام سبيلُها
أمِنَتْ غَداةَ الجِدّ كلَّ عِثارِ
Indeed when the path of nations is straightened
They feel secure from the pitfalls of effort on the morrow
