جيش يفوت الطرف حتى لا يرى

ما غاب من أطرافه محدودا

An army marching endlessly so none may see

How few they are though boundless they may seem

ويجيش حتى لا يظن عديده

أحد لكثرة جمعه معدودا

Marching on so none may guess their count

However numerous, still limited deemed

فكأنما جعل الاله روابي ال

أعلام أعلاماً له وبنودا

As though the Lord their guide bade banners be

Standards for them, agents of His esteem

يقضي على الأعداء خيفة بأسه

قبل اللقاء تهدداً ووعيدا

To strike their foes with dread before the fray

With menace and with warning to redeem

وترى وتسمع لمعه وخفوقه

فتخال فيه بوارقاً وروعودا

You see the glint and hear the martial blare

And imagine lightning, rumbling, thunder's boom
