تقيل المناي تحت أقدام جندنا

وكلُّ الرزايا حافلات بضدِّنا

The grief is heavy under our soldiers' feet,

And all sorrows are full of our enemies.

فيا أيُّها الموصول قلباً بعهدنا

توسَّل إذا ضاق الخناقُ بجدِّنا

Plead when the noose tightens around our necks.

أبي العلمين الغوث والنصر حاصل

له باليد البيضاء عزٌّ سما السما

For Him with the white hand, glory reaching the heavens.

ولا بدع مولانا الرفاعيُّ إن سما

مليك فتوحٍ بالندا بحره طما

A king of conquests, his sea with waves overflowing.

فطوبي لذي قلبٍ لسدَّته انتما

وقد ربطت بالسر منه السلاسل

And the chains from it have bound my secret.

ثلاثةُ أبياتٍ أشارت لعزمه

جلاها سراج الدين في لطف نظمه

Clarified by Sarraj Ad-Deen in the kindness of his composition.

فخمَّسها مهدي دوحة علمه

مدائحنا تغلو وتعلو بإسمه

Our praises rise high with his name,

و إحسانه للقصد كافٍ وكافلُ
