ظَهَرَ الحَق مِن مَعان وَلَفظ
فَنَظَرنا إِلَيهِ مِن كُل لَحظ
Truth appeared in meanings and words.
The truth emerged in meaning and word
So we looked upon it with every glance.
So we looked upon it in every moment
ظَلَ يَعلو بِسادة مِن قُريش
قَصموا عَن حَريمه كُل فَظ
It kept rising through nobles of Quraysh,
It continued to rise with the nobility of Quraysh
Who crushed every brute in defense of its sanctuary.
Who broke every roughness around its sanctity
ظاهروه بِأَنفس وَبِمال
عَن سَماح ما شيب يَوماً بغيظ
They supported it with their lives and wealth,
They supported it with their souls and wealth
Out of generosity never once tainted by anger.
With generosity that anger never soured
ظمئوا في هَواجر القيظ طَوعاً
وَنَسوا في جنابه كُل حَظ
Willingly they thirsted in summer's noonday heat,
They willingly endured fiery exile
And in its presence forgot every personal gain.
And forgot in its presence any share
ظفروا إِذ تَمَسكوا بنبي
وَبِما جاءَ مِن حُدود وَوعظ
They triumphed when they held fast to a prophet,
They succeeded when they held to the Prophet
And to the bounds and admonitions he brought.
And what came of limits and preaching
ظلمة الشرك قَد أَزالَ بِنور
قَد تلوناه بَينَ دَرس وَحفظ
He dispelled the darkness of polytheism with a light
The darkness of idolatry it erased with light
Which we have recited through study and memorization.
We have recited it between study and memorization
ظنه بِالإِله ظَن قَوي
حَيث عانى لِوجهه كُل لَظ
His trust in God is a steadfast trust,
His belief in God was strong conviction
As he endured, for His sake, every persistent harasser.
Where he suffered for His sake every harshness
ظالم كُل مَن عَصاه كَفور
سَوف يَلقى يَوم اللقا كُل غنظ
Everyone who disobeys him is a wrongdoer, an ingrate,
Oppressive is whoever disobeyed Him ungrateful
Who will face anguish of every kind on the Day of Meeting.
He will meet on the Day of Meeting every wrath
ضاعن للعلى يريك كَلاماً
يَخجل الدُر عِندَ إِيراد لَفظ
Journeying toward the heights, he shows you speech;
If you would see speech that humbles pearls
Pearls blush at the utterance of a word.
When any word is uttered
ظاهر الصدق وَالصيانة يحلو
ذكره عِندَ كُل مضغ وَلَمظ
His truthfulness and integrity are plain; sweet is
Manifest are the truth and chastity pleasant
The mention of him with every chew and taste.
Is the mention at every bite and sip
