أدية أنت فائدة الزمان

فقد فقت الممالك في معان

You have proved useful in time

Kingdoms have perished in meaning

بذلنا جهدنا عزماً وحزماً

ووطنا الكماة على الطعان

We have exerted our determination and resolve

And made our homeland a shield against spears

واجهدنا العزائم والمساعي

وأعملنا الحسام مع السنان

We exhausted determinations and efforts

And made the swords work with the teeth

ليهنئ أهل مالقة انتصاري

وإعزازي لهم بعد الهوان

To make the people of Malaga happy with my victory

And to honor them after humiliation

سينقذهم وينجيهم جيمعاً

رضاع الخير إن درت لباني

It will save and deliver them altogether

The good nurse, if my motivations are made clear

وأرقيهم ذرى مجدٍ رفيعٍ

كما أجنيهم ثمر الأمان

And I will raise them to the height of glorious honor

As I protect them, the fruit of safety

وأضعاف الذي يبدي لساني

إليهم ما يجن لهم جناني

And multiples of what my tongue conveys to them

Of what makes my soul happy for them

فحق عليهم شكر امتعاضي

وما خلقي امتنانٍ بامتنان

So it is right for them to appreciate my disgust

And my nature is not to repay favor with favor

ولكن الحقائق مخبراتٍ

وكم خبرٌ ينوب عن العيان

But the facts are informative

And how much news takes the place of seeing

ألم أعتقهم من ذل كفرٍ

جرى في ضيمهم ملء العنان

Did I not free them from the humiliation of blasphemy

Which fully flowed in their oppression?

وتوارة محرفة أعزت

فطالت ذلة السبع المثاني

And an altered Torah that I honored

So the humiliation of the seven heavens lasted

إلى أن ثار بي عزم يمان

فأدرك سؤله العضب اليماني

Until the determination of Yemen roared in me

And attained its request, the Yemeni unsheathed sword

وانضيت الصوارم خاطبات

وكان فضاؤها سحر البيان

And the swords spoke

And their space was the magic of rhetoric

فعاد البر معمور المغاني

وارض الفسق مهدوم المباني

So righteousness, inhabited by songs, returned

And the land of sin, demolished buildings

وقام إمام جامعهم يصلي

وأنست المسامع بالأذان

And the imam who unites them prays

And the ears forgot the call to prayer

وكان ذوو الهدى ما بين ثاوٍ

قتيل أو فقيد العقل فان

And the people of guidance were between

A slain man or one who lost his mind

مذ اقتربت ببربهم يهود

أباح حسامهم حسن القران

Since the Jews approached their land

His sword made good use of the Quran

عتادي أجر ما أوليت فيهم

من الفتكات بكر أو عوان

My preparation is the reward for what I have done to them

Of killings, early or late

وحسبي في سبيل اللَه موت

يكون ثوابه خلد الجنان

And sufficient for me in the cause of God is death

Whose reward is eternal paradise
