نَصَرَ اللَهُ بِالوَزيرَينِ مُلكاً

كانَ أَودى وَاِستَمكَنَ الذُلُّ مِنهُ

God grants victory through the two viziers to a king

Who was about to fall and humiliation had taken hold of him,

فَأَجادا نَصيحَةً لِإِمامٍ

إِن دَهاها في شِدَّةٍ لَم تَخُنهُ

So they gave good advice to a leader

Whose endurance in hardship did not fail him.

هُوَ مِثلُ الهُسامِ بَينَ غِرارَي

هِ فَهَذا وَذا يُجاهِدُ عَنهُ

He is like the husam between two millstones,

This one and that grinding for him.
