يَا خَيلَ مُحيي مِلّة الإِسلاَمِ

فُوزي بِكُلِّ غَنِيمَةٍ وَسَلامَ

O horses reviving the religion of Islam

Be victorious in every spoil of war and peace

وَطَإِي بلادَ الشِّركِ مُدرِكَةَ المُنَى

مَنصورةً مَنشُورَةَ الأعلامِ

Trample the lands of polytheism to achieve your purpose

Triumphant, with standards raised high

وَاستَنجِزِي فِيهَا الوُعُودَ بِفَتحِهَا

فَلَعَلَّهَا ادُّخِرَت لِهَذا العَامِ

And fulfill therein the promises of its opening

Perhaps it was kept for this year

لِلَّهِ جَيشُ خَلِيفَةً رَايَاتُهُ

مَحفُوفَةٌ بالنُّجحِ فِي الإقدَامِ

For God, the army of the Caliph whose banners

Are surrounded by success in daring

مَشحوذَةٌ عَزَمَاتُهُ مَعصومَةٌ

آراؤُهُ فِي النَّقضِ والإِبرامِ

Their resolves sharpened, their views protected

In negation and affirmation

تَغزو مِلاءِكَةُ السَّمَاءِ إِذَا غَزا

مَأمُومَةً مِنهُ بِخَيرِ إِمَامِ

The angels of heaven raid when he raids

Following him in the best leadership

مَحجوبة الأعيانِ وَقعُ سلاحِهَا

بِالرُّوحِ لَيسَ بِظَاهِرِ الأجسَامِ

Their essence veiled, the impact of their weapons

By the soul not apparent bodies

فَلأجل ذَاكَ يُرَى القَتِيلُ ولا يُرَى

أَثَرٌ بِهِ مِن ذَابِلٍ وحُسَامِ

So for that the slain is seen but not

Any trace by him of frailty and swords

قَتلَى المَلائِكِ لا كِلى مَفرِيّة

بالسَّمهَرِيِّ ولا قَذالٌ هَامِ

The slain angels have no fleeing for refuge

By cavalry or infantry columns

وَمِنَ العَجَائِبِ أن تَكُونَ جِرَاحُهُم

لا في جُسُومِهِمُ ولا فِي الهَامِ

And of the wonders that their wounds

Are neither in their bodies nor their shoulders

تَرَكَ الهُوَينا واستَقَلَّ بِهِمّةِ

نَشَأَت عن الإِجلالِ والإِعظامِ

He left distraction and took to the resolve

That arose from veneration and glorification

وَرَأى الجِهَادَ بِنَفسِهِ وبمالِهِ

أزكى الحُظوظِ وَأَوفَرَ الأقسَامِ

And saw jihad by himself and his money

The most blessed and abundant portions

فَسَرى بِمِلءِ الأُفقِ يَحشُو أرضَهُ

بِسَنابِكٍ وَسَماءَهُ بِقَتامِ

So he traveled the horizons filling his land

With towers and his sky with darkness

يَغشى بِهِ الأَهوالَ لا يعتَاقُهُ

خَرقٌ سَحِيقٌ أو عُبابٌ طَامِ

To cover therewith the terrors, impenetrable

To piercing cries or accumulating clouds

يجتابُ ذا بالخَيلِ مُعلَمَةً وَذَا

بِالمُنشآتِ عَلَيهِ كالأَعلامِ

Assailing here with cavalry marked and there

With engines of war like flags

مِن كُلِّ مِصلِيتٍ تَقَلَّدَ سَيفَهُ

فَرَأيت صَمصاماً على صَمصامِ

From every prayer niche he wore his sword

So I saw scabbard over scabbard

أُسدٌ فَرائِسُها العِدا ألِفَت لَهَا

ظِلَّ القَنا بَدَلاً من الآجامِ

A lion whose cubs the enemies befriended

The shade of spears instead of tents

فأني رِباط الفَتح مَرجُواً لَهُ

مِنهُ افتتاحُ عِراقِها والشّام

So I yearn for the covenant of victory hoping from it

The opening of its Iraq and Levant

ألقى بِأَندلسٍ كَلاكِلَ عَزمِهِ

طَلقَ الجَبين مُبارَكَ الإلمَام

He cast Andalusia into the tumult of his resolve

A serene forehead of blessed inventiveness

فحمى حِمَى الدين الحنِيفِّي الَّذي

ما زال يَدفَعُ دونَهُ ويُحامِي

Thus he protected the sanctity of the true Hanifi faith

Which ceaselessly repels and defends

حَتَّى أَدامَ عَلَى الزَّمَانِ وَأهلِهِ

نِعَماً تَبَزُّ حوادث الأيَّامِ

Until he established for the age and its people

Blessings more wondrous than the days' events

وَحَبَا فأَغنَاهُم فَأصبَحَ أمنُهُم

أمنَينِ مِن عُدمٍ بِهِ وَحِمامِ

And endowed them so enriched them that their security became

Two securities from loss through it and sanctuary

فَجَزَى الإِلَهُ مُعِزَّ دِينِ نَبِيِّه

جَنّاتِ رضوانٍ وَدَارَ مُقَامِ

So may God reward the strengthener of the faith of His Prophet

With gardens of bliss and the abode of eternity

وَقَضَى لَهُ بالنَّصرِ فِي أعدَائِهِ

وَأنَالَهُ بالسَّعدِ كُلَّ مَرَامِ

And decree for him victory over his enemies

And grant him in fortune all his wishes

يَا ابنَ الأَئِمّةِ مِن مُضَرَ الأُلَى

نَصَبُوا مَنَازَ الحلِّ وَالإحرَامِ

O son of the imams from glorious Mudar

Who established the stations of unwinding and pilgrimage

مِن قَيسِ عَيلانَ الذِينَ بِهَديِهِم

شُدَّت عَلَى التَّقوَى عُرَى الإِسلامِ

From Qais Ailan who by their guidance

Strengthened the bonds of Islam's piety

المُخمِدونَ بجدّهِم وَحَديدِهِم

في الحَرب جَمرَة عُبّدِ الأصنَامِ

Quenching with their strength and steel in war

The embers of idol worshippers

والمُطعِمونَ إِذِ السِّنونَ تَتابَعَت

والمُحسِنونَ كَفَالة الأَيتامِ

And feeding when years grew lean

And doing good as guarantors of orphans

طابُوا وَطِبتًَ فَقَلَّودك لِعِلمِهم

أمرَ الأنامِ ملامةُ اللَّوَّامِ

They approved and you were approved so they garlanded you for their knowledge

Censuring the affairs of mankind, blaming detractors

وَرَعَيتَ ما استَرعَوكَ مُجتَهِداً وَلَم

تَأخُذكَ فيهِ مَلامَةُ اللَّوامِ

And you heeded what they entrusted you, diligent and not

Taking from it the blame of blamers

لَمّا قَفلتَ منَ الجِهَادِ وَبَشّرَت

بإِيابِ جَيشِكَ ألسُنُ الأَقلامِ

When you returned from jihad and heralded

With your army's return the pens' tongues

بَعَثَت بَلَنِسيةٌ إلَيكَ بِوَفدِهَا

عَن كُلِّ مُحتَنِك بِهَا وَغلامِ

Valencia sent to you a delegation for all

Its bleeding youth and boys

مُستَنزِلينَ الرُّحمَ مِنكَ لأهلِهَا

مُستَمطرِينَ سَحَائِبَ الإِنعَامِ

Seeking your mercy for its people

And rains of favor pouring down

رَفَعُوا ضَراعَتَهُم إِلَيكَ وَبَلّغُوا

عَنهُم أبَرَّ تَحِيّةٍ وَسلام

They lifted their plea to you and conveyed

The fondest greetings and peace

مستنجزين مواعِد النَّصرِ الَّتِي

وُعِدوا بِهَا مِن نَيلِ كُلِّ مَرَامِ

Seeking fulfillment of the promised victory

To attain all wishes

وَمُعَأوِدينَ اللّثمَ في يَدِكَ الَّتِي

تشفى مُقبِّلها مِنَ الإِعدَامِ

And repeating kisses on the hand that

Saves those kissing it from annihilation

فَأهنأ أمِيرَ المُؤمنِينَ بِغزوَةٍ

خَصّت أنوفَ عِداك بالأرغامِ

So congratulate the Commander of the Faithful on a conquest

That chastened your enemies' skulls with pounding

تَرَكَت بلادَ الكُفرِ مُظلمَةً بِما

أَجلَت عَنِ الإِيمَانِ مِن أظلامِ

It left the lands of unbelief darkened by what

It dispelled from them of the darkness of faithlessness

وَأسلَم أمينَ اللهِ تَصدَعُ بِالهُدى

وَتَلِي بِحَدِّ السَّيفِ كُلّ عُرامِ

And the trustee of God cries out with guidance

And loosens every pillar of paganism with the sword's edge

وَإِذَا ابتدأت بِسَعد جدّك مَطلَباً

كَفَلَت لَكَ الأَقدَارُ بِالإتمَامِ

When it commences with the good fortune of your ancestor a request

The destinies guarantee its completion

واخلُد لِحِفظِ الِّينِ وَالدُّنيَا مَعاً

في غِبطَةٍ مَوصولَةٍ بِدَوَامِ

And devote yourself to protecting calm and world together

In bliss unceasingly attached to permanence
