لَقَد ضَرَبَ الحَجّاجُ ضَربَةَ حازِمٍ

كَبا جُندُ إِبليسٍ لَها وَتَضَعضَعوا

Al-Hajjaj struck a decisive blow

That routed Iblis's army and made them tremble

أَضاءَ لَها ما بَينَ شَرقٍ وَمَغرِبٍ

بِنورٍ مُضيءٍ وَالأَسِنَّةُ شُرَّعُ

It lit up the land between East and West

With shining light, swords unsheathed

وَخَرَّت شَياطينُ البِلادِ كَأَنَّها

مَخافَةَ أُخرى في الأَزِمَّةِ خُضَّعُ

The devils of the lands fell down

As if compelled to bow again in crisis

فَلَم يَدَعِ الحَجّاجُ مِن ذي عَداوَةٍ

مِنَ الناسِ إِلّا يَستَكينُ وَيَضرَعُ

Al-Hajjaj left no hostile man

Without him pleading and begging for mercy

إِذا حارَبَ الحَجّاجُ أَيَّ مُنافِقٍ

عَلاهُ بِسَيفٍ كُلَّما هُزَّ يَقطَعُ

Whenever Al-Hajjaj fought any hypocrite

He would vanquish him with a sword that severs with every shake
