إِنّي لَآمُلُ صُنعَ اللَهِ في حَسَنٍ
وَاِبنُ الطَبَخشِيَةِ اللَكعاءِ مَذمومُ
I surely hope for God's intervention concerning Hasan,
I hope for the good work of God
and the son of the foolish al-Tabakhshiyya is reviled.
While the son of al-Tabakhshiyya is condemned
إِذا تَواصى بِيَ الطائِيُّ لَم أَرَ لِل
حِرمانِ شَخصاً وَلَم يَعلُق بِيَ الشومُ
When al-Ta'i joins in commending me, I see no
When the straying one makes a pact with me, I see no one deprived
figure of deprivation, nor does ill fortune cling to me.
Nor does misfortune cling to me
قَد كانَ ناكَدَني فيهِ اِمرُؤٌ سَلَكَت
آباؤُهُ وَجَرى في عِرقِهِ اللومُ
A man had once thwarted me over him; that course was taken
A man once wronged me whose fathers
by his forefathers, and baseness ran in his veins.
And whose lineage was blamed
فَالآنَ يَنصُرُني مَن لَيسَ جانِبُهُ
بِمُستَضامٍ وَلا مَولاهُ مَهضومُ
So now one aids me whose side is never
Now the one who is not of fault or oppressed aids me
oppressed, nor is his protégé wronged.
When the full moon rose, it mobilized
مَتى أَهابَ بِبَدرٍ يَستَجيشُ بِهِ
تَناصَرَ العَرَبُ الأَشرافُ وَالرومُ
Whenever he calls upon Badr, seeking troops through him,
The noble Arabs and Romans alike
the noble Arabs and the Romans rally to one another's aid.
