قَومي الَّذينَ هُمُ آوَوا نَبِيَّهُمُ

وَصَدَّقوهُ وَأَهلُ الأَرضِ كُفّارُ

O my people who sheltered their prophet,

And believed him, while the people of earth disbelieved,

إِلّا خَصائِصَ أَقوامٍ هُمُ سَلَفٌ

لِلصالِحينَ مَعَ الأَنصارِ أَنصارُ

Except the elite of past nations,

Who were righteous supporters alongside the Ansar as supporters,

مُستَبشِرينَ بِقَسمِ اللَهِ قَولُهُمُ

لَمّا أَتاهُم كَريمُ الأَصلِ مُختارُ

Welcoming joyfully the decree of Allah, their words:

“Welcome, welcome in safety and abundance,

أَهلاً وَسَهلاً فَفي أَمنٍ وَفي سِعَةٍ

نِعمَ النَبيُّ وَنِعمَ القَسمُ وَالجارُ

Blessed is the prophet, blessed is the decree and the neighbor.”

They settled him in a house where he fears not,

فَأَنزَلوهُ بِدارٍ لا يَخافُ بِها

مَن كانَ جارَهُمُ داراً هِيَ الدارُ

For their neighbor in it is the abode, it is the abode.

They shared with him therein wealth when they arrived,

وَقاسَموهُ بِها الأَموالَ إِذ قَدِموا

مُجاهِدينَ وَقَسمُ الجاحِدُ النارُ

Warring and the share for the disbelieving is the Fire.

They traveled secretly and marched to Badr at their appointed time,

سِرنا وَساروا إِلى بَدرٍ لِحَينِهِمُ

لَو يَعلَمونَ يَقينَ العِلمَ ما ساروا

If only they knew with sure knowledge they would not have marched.

He misguided them with delusions then surrendered them,

دَلّاهُمُ بِغُرورٍ ثُمَّ أَسلَمَهُم

إِنَّ الخَبيثَ لِمَن والاهُ غَرّارُ

Indeed the wicked one is a deceiver to whoever befriended him.

And he said, “I am a protector to you,” thereby leading them

وَقالَ إِنّي لَكُم جارٌ فَأَورَدَهُم

شَرَّ المَوارِدِ فيهِ الخِزيُ وَالعارُ

To the worst of watering holes, wherein lies disgrace and shame.

Then we met and they fled from their beddings,

ثُمَّ اِلتَقَينا فَوَلَّوا عَن سَراتِهِمُ

مِن مُنجِدينَ وَمِنهُم فِرقَةٌ غاروا

As supporters and among them was a group that hid away.
