رَفَعتُ سِناني مِن هَوازِنَ إِذ دَنَت

وَأَسلَمَها مِن كُلِّ رامٍ مَحاشِرُه

I raised my spear against the Huwazin when they advanced,

And submitted them, despite the efforts of their valiant warriors,

وَحُلِّلَتِ الأَوتارُ إِذ لَم يَكُن لَها

نِضالٌ لِرامٍ دَمَّغَتها نَواقِرُه

The bowstrings were loosened, for they were no match

Against warriors whose steeds trampled them.

لَقَد عَلِمَت عَيلانُ أَنَّ الَّذي رَسَت

لَئيمٌ وَأَنَّ العيرَ قَد فُلَّ حافِرُه

The people of Ailan knew well that the one who arrived

Was vile, and that his caravan had lost its lead camel,

وَكُلُّ أُناسٍ فيهِمُ مِن مُلوكِنا

لَهُم رَبُّ صِدقٍ وَالخَليفَةُ قاهِرُه

And every tribe among them, including our kings

Have a Lord of Truth, and a victorious Caliph,

وَإِنّي لَوَثّابٌ إِلى المَجدِ دونَهُ

مِنَ الوَعثِ أَو ضيقِ المَكانِ نَهابِرُه

And I strive towards glory, heedless of fatigue

Or confining spaces that would hinder progress,

وَمِنّا رَسولُ اللَهِ أُرسِلَ بِالهُدى

وَبِالحَقِّ جاءَت بِاليَقينِ نَوادِرُه

And among us is Allah's Messenger, sent with guidance

And with truth came the decisive revelations.
