هذا إمامُ الدينِ في أعلامهِ
والدّينُ مُعتصِمٌ ببأسِ إمامهِ
This is the Imam of religion in his signs,
And religion is protected by the might of its Imam.
يَحمِي حَقيقَتَهُ بِقوَّةِ بطشهِ
ويصونُ بَيْضَتَهُ بحدِّ حُسَامِهِ
He protects its truth with the strength of his assault,
And guards its sanctity with the edge of his sword.
شيخُ الجهادِ يَودُّ كلُّ مجاهدٍ
لو كان يُدْعى في الوَغَى بِغُلاَمِهِ
The Shaykh of jihad, every mujahid loves
To be called to battle by his young man.
عالي اللّواءِ يُقيمُهُ بِحُدُودِهِ
ويُبَيِّنُ المأثورَ من أحكامهِ
He holds the glorious banner high with its boundaries,
And clarifies the traditions from its rulings.
المُصلحونَ على الزّمانِ سُيُوفُهُ
وجنودُه في حربِهِ وسلامهِ
The reformers in time are his swords,
And his soldiers in his war and peace.
عَرِفُوا الجِهَادَ به ومنه تَعَلَّمُوا
ما صَحَّ من دُستُورِهِ ونظامِهِ
They knew jihad through him and from him they learned
What is sound from his constitution and system.
غَضِبَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أن جَفَا أصنامَها
ووَفَى بعهدِ إلههِ وذِمَامِه
Quraysh were angry that he abandoned their idols,
And fulfilled the covenant of his God and lead rope.
يغزو فوارِسَهم ويَقتُلُ جمعَهم
حتّى يَدينَ مَرامُهم لمرامِهِ
He raids their horsemen and kills their group,
Until their affairs surrender to his affairs.
ويرى المحجَّةَ كلُّ غاوٍ مِنهمُ
فَيكفَّ عن طُغيانِهِ وعُرامِهِ
And every misguided one among them sees the proof,
So he refrains from his tyranny and nakedness.
ويثوبَ جاهلُهُم إلى دينِ الهُدَى
والنّورِ من دينِ العَمى وظلامِهِ
And their ignorant one returns to the religion of guidance,
And the light from the religion of blindness and its darkness.
دلَفوا إليه وظَنَّ أكذبُهُم مُنىً
أنْ قد سَقَتْهُ يداه كأسَ حِمامِهِ
They came to him and the most untruthful among them wished,
That his hands had given him the cup of his doves.
أَكذاكَ ينخدِعُ الغبيُّ وهكذا
يَتَخَبَّطُ المفتونُ في أوهامِهِ
Does the ignorant one become deceived in this way?
And the deluded one flounders in his fantasies like this?
مَهْلاً أبيُّ لقد ركبتَ عظيمةً
وأردتَ صرحاً لستَ من هُدَّامِهِ
Wait, O Abu Yusr! You have embarked on something great,
And wanted a palace that you are not one of its demolishers.
صَرْحٌ بناه اللَّهُ أوَّلَ ما بنى
وأطالَ من عِرْنِينِهِ وَسَنامِهِ
A palace that Allah built first when He built,
And lengthened from its pillars and carvings.
لا يبلُغُ الباني ذُراه ولا يُرى
في الدّاعِمِينَ بِناؤُه كدِعامِهِ
The builder cannot reach its outskirts, nor can
Its construction be seen supported by its pillars.
مَهلاً أبيُّ فإن جَهلتَ مكانَه
فانْهضْ إليه إن استطعتَ وَسَامِهِ
Wait, O Abu Yusr! If you do not know its place,
Then set out to it, if you can withstand its sublimity.
أقدِمْ فخذها يا أبيُّ سُقِيتَها
فانظرْ إلى السّاقِي ورَوعةِ جامِهِ
Go ahead, take it O Abu Yusr, you have been given it,
So look at the giver and the awe of his cup.
خَدشٌ كوقعِ الظُّفْرِ أو هُوَ دونه
لِمَ تشتكِي وتَضِجُّ من آلامِهِ
A scratch like the blow of fingernails, or less than it,
Why do you complain and cry out from its pain?
أأُبيُّ أين العودُ والعَلَفُ الذي
أعددتَهُ وجعلته لطعامِهِ
O Abu Yusr! Where is the rod and fodder,
That you prepared and made his food?
إذهبْ لكَ الويلاتُ من مُتَمَرِّدٍ
عادَى الإِلهَ ولجَّ في آثامه
For you are the woes, O rebel,
Who opposed Allah and plunged into sins.
لكَ من قتيلِ الكبشِ أشأمُ صاحبٍ
يُلْقِي إلى غُولِ الرَّدى بزمامِهِ
For you is the stench of the slain ram's owner,
Who casts his reigns to the ghoul of destruction.
أخذ النبيَّ بضربةٍ كانت له
حَتْفَاً يُمَزِّقُ لحمَهُ بعظامِهِ
The Prophet took him with a blow that tore his flesh
With its bones into pieces.
ولمَن تقدَّمَ فوقَ صهوةِ عاثرٍ
أشقَى وأخيبُ آخد بلجامهِ
And for whoever advanced over the stumbling horse,
Most wretched and disappointed, holding its reins.
هو في الحفيرةِ دُونَ حِصنِ مُحمدٍ
جَثَمَ الحِمامُ عليه قبل قيامهِ
He is in the pit, beneath the fortress of Muhammad,
The doves have alighted on him before his rising.
ألقى القضاءُ عليه من أَثقاله
مترامياً ينصبُّ في أجرامِهِ
Destiny has cast upon him its heaviest,
As he pours into his sins in succession.
أرداه بابنِ الصِّمَّةِ البطلِ الذي
أعيا الرَّدى المحتالَ فضُّ صِمامِهِ
Ibn Al-Summah's hero drove him back,
Frustrating the cunning when his resolve disintegrated.
يغشاهُ سيفُ العامريِّ فينثني
ودَمُ الجريحِ يَبُلُّ حرَّ أُوامِهِ
Al-Aamiri's sword overwhelms him so he writhes,
And the wounded one's blood soaks the heat of his tendons.
سَلمتْ يداك أبا دُجانةَ من فتىً
وَسْمُ المنيَّةِ من حِلَى صَمْصَامِهِ
Your hands are safe Abu Dujanah, from a young man
Whose sting of death is the sweetest of poison.
أحسنتَ ذبحَ المشركينَ فأشبهوا
ما يذبحُ الجزَّارُ من أنعامهِ
You have done well in slaughtering the polytheists, so they resembled
What the butcher slaughters of cattle.
يا ويلهم إذ يقذفون نبيَّهم
بحجارةٍ تهوِي هُوِيَّ سهامِهِ
Woe to them when they pelt their Prophet,
With stones that plunge like plunging arrows.
كسروا عَوَارضَهُ وشجُّوا وجهَهُ
من كلِّ غاوٍ جَدَّ في إجرامِهِ
They broke his noble face and wounded his face,
Each misguided one was extreme in his crime.
يجري الدَّمُ المدرار من مُتهلّلٍ
طلقِ المحيَّا في الوغَى بَسَّامِهِ
The flowing blood drips from the one wearing a turban,
My sword loose in battle cutting and slashing.
لا يعجبِ الكفارُ من مَسفوحِهِ
فلقد جَرَى من قبلُ في إلهامِهِ
The disbelievers are not amazed at its outpouring,
For it had already flowed before in his inspiration.
ما ظَنُّهم باللَّهِ يُؤثِرُ عَبْدَهُ
بالبالغِ الموفورِ من إنعامهِ
What is their assumption of Allah, that He favors His servant,
With abundant bestowal from His blessings?
لن يستطيعِ سِوَى الضلالةِ مذهباً
مَن ليس بالمصروفِ عن أصنامِهِ
No one can adopt a method besides misguidance,
Who is not diverted from his idols.
لم يخذلُوهُ ولم تَفُتْهُ كرامةٌ
هم عند نُصرتِهِ وفي إكرامِهِ
They did not abandon him, nor did any honor escape him,
They are in supporting him and honoring him.
صَبْرُ المشمِّرِ للجهادِ على الأذَى
خُلُقٌ يتمُّ المجدُ عِندَ تمامِهِ
The patience of the resolved one for jihad against harm,
Is a trait through which glory is completed in its perfection.
هذا مَقَامُ محمدٍ في قومِهِ
هل لامرئٍ في الدهرِ مِثلُ مَقامِهِ
This is Muhammad's position among his people,
Does anyone in time have a position like his position?
القادةُ الهادونَ من أتباعِهِ
والسّادةُ البانونَ من خُدَّامهِ
The gentle leaders from his followers,
And the eminent chiefs from his servants.
اللَّهُ أرسله طبيباً شافياً
للعالَمِ الوَحشيِّ من أسقامِهِ
Allah sent him as a healing physician,
For the savage world from its illnesses.
الأمرُ بانَ فأين يلتمسُ الهدى
مَن ضلَّ بينَ حَلالِهِ وحرامِهِ
The matter has become clear, so where can guidance be sought,
By one who strayed between its lawful and prohibited?
ركبُ النبيِّ إلى المدينةِ عائدٌ
يَمشِي به جبريلُ في أعلامهِ
The Prophet rode to Medina returning,
Gabriel walking with him in his signs.
يتوسّطُ الجرحَى تَسيلُ دماؤُهم
فوقَ الحصَى من خَلفِهِ وأمامِهِ
The wounded are in the middle, their blood dripping
Over the pebbles behind him and in front of him.
ويَمُدُّ فوق المؤمناتِ جَناحَهُ
يقضِي لهنَّ الحقَّ من إعظامِهِ
And he extends his wing over the believing women
To establish their right from his reverence.
أَدَّيْنَ مَسنونَ الجهادِ وذُقْنَ في
وَهَجِ الجِلادِ الحقِّ حَرَّ ضرامهِ
Those who performed jihad have tasted in the blazing heat of scourging,
The truth's burning thirst in its tendons.
شَمتَ اليهودُ وأرجفَ النفَرُ الأُلَى
طَبعَ النِّفاقُ قلوبَهم بختامهِ
The Jews gloated and the wretched gang,
Hypocrisy sealed their hearts with its stamp.
قالوا أُصيبَ مُحمدٌ في نفسِهِ
ورجالِهِ وأُصيبَ في أحلامِهِ
They said Muhammad has been wounded in himself,
His men and his dreams have been wounded.
ما تلك مَنزلةُ النبيِّ فإنما
يُؤتَى النبيُّ النَّصرَ عِندَ صِدَامِهِ
That is not the position of the Prophet, for the Prophet
Is given victory when he confronts.
جَلّتْ مَطالبهُ فراحَ يُريدُهُ
مُلكاً يَدومُ جَلالُهُ بدوامهِ
His demands have become great, so he wants,
A kingdom whose majesty lasts forever.
لو أنّ قتلى الحربِ كانوا عندنا
ما هدَّ هالكُهُم ذَوِي أرحامِهِ
If only the war dead were with us,
Their loss would not have saddened their loved ones.
هاجوا مِن الفاروقِ غَضْبةَ واثِقٍ
باللَّهِ لا يُصغِي إلى لُوَّامهِ
They provoked the rage of the certain Farooq,
Trusting in Allah, not listening to blamers.
فدعا أَيُتْرَكُ رأسُ كلِّ مُنافقٍ
في القومِ يُؤذينا بسوءِ كلامِهِ
So he called, "Should the head of every hypocrite
In the people who harms us with his evil talk remain?"
قال النَّبيُّ وكيف تَقتلُ مُسْلِماً
أفما تخافُ اللَّهَ في إسلامِهِ
The Prophet said, "And how can you kill a Muslim?
Do you not fear Allah in his Islam?"
صلَّى عليكَ اللَّهُ من مُتحرِّجٍ
جَمِّ الأناةِ يعفُّ عن ظَلَّامِهِ
May Allah send prayers upon you, O embarrassed one,
Who restrains his self and pardons his wrongdoers.
سمحِ الشَّريعةِ والخلالِ مُسَدَّدٍ
في نَقضِهِ للأمرِ أو إبرامِهِ
Facilitating in law and reform, guided
In his annulment of the matter or its fulfillment.
