وَهَل يَترُكُ التَأييدُ خِدمَةَ عَسكَرٍ

وَإِقدامُ سَيفِ الدَولَةِ العَضبِ قائِدُهُ

Would the support ever abandon serving an army,

And the brave sword of the state leave its leader?

عَفَت عَن سَمَندو خَيلِهِ وَتَنَجَّزَت

بِخَرشَنَةٍ ما قَدَّمَتهُ مَواعِدُهُ

His horses have abstained from fodder,

To fulfill with Khurshan what its promises entail.

وَزارَت بِهِ في مَوطِن الكُفرِ حَيثُ لا

يُشاهِدُ إِلّا بِالرِماحِ مَشاهِدُهُ

It has raided the land of disbelief, where nothing is seen

Except by spears what scenes unfold.
