جاسَ الحِمى خَصْمٌ بِصَوْلَةِ وَهْمهِ

كَذَبَتْ عليهِ ظُنونُهُ أينَ الحِمى

The cup of ardor is an opponent of delusive fancy

His suppositions have lied to him, where is ardor?

سُمْرُ القَنا انْعَقَدَتْ على أرْكانهِ

بيضُ السِّنانِ تَ

The darkness of spears clustered around its pillars

The whiteness of teeth that

هُزَّتْ بعزمِ أَبي العَواجِزِ أَحمدٍ

فرَمَى العَدُوَّ فبادَ والمولَى رمَى

Shook with the resolve of Abul 'Awaagiz Ahmad

So the enemy discarded and the Master aimed

بدَتْ شُؤُنُ الخارِقاتِ لمُبْصِرٍ

تُبْدي سِناناً بالدِّماءِ مُنَمْنَمَا

The extraordinary events appeared to the beholder

Baring teeth dripping with blood

كتبَتْ يدُ البُرْهانِ في أَطْرافِهِ

شيخُ العَواجِزِ لم يزلْ يَحمي الحِمَى

The hand of proof wrote on its edges

The Sheikh of the frail never ceased to protect the sanctuary
