أمّا الهُدَى فاستقامَ من أوَدِهْ

ومدَّ أطنابَهُ على عَمَدِهْ

Guidance regained its straight path,

Stretching its ropes upon its pillars.

وانتعشَ الدينُ بعدَ عَثْرتهِ

واتّصلتْ كفُّهُ على عَضدِهْ

The religion revived after its stumbling,

His power reconnected to its support.

وزُلزِلَ الكفرُ من قَواعدهِ

وجُبَّ رأسُ النِّفاقِ من كَتَدِهْ

Disbelief was shaken from its foundations,

And the head of hypocrisy was severed from its trunk.

بفتحِ قَرْمونةَ التي سَبَقتْ

ما عدَّ كفُّ الخلافِ من عددِهْ

With the conquest of Gerona which preceded

All that the palms of discord had counted.

بيُمْن أسنَى أُميَّةٍ حَسَباً

وخيرِهم رافداً لمُرتفدِهْ

Through the good fortune of the nobility of Umayyads,

And the best of them feeding its dependants.

إمامُ عدلٍ على رعيَّتهِ

أشفقُ من والدٍ على ولدِهْ

The just Imam ruling over his subjects,

More compassionate than a father for his son.

أحيا لنا العدلَ بعدَ مِيتَتِهِ

وردَّ روحَ الحياةِ في جسدِهْ

He revived justice for us after its death,

And returned the spirit of life to its body.

في كلِّ يومٍ يزيدُ مكرُمةً

ويَقصرُ الوصفُ على مدَى أمدِهْ

Every day he increases in generosity,

And description falls short of his unlimited lifetime.

فأمسُهُ دونَ يومهِ كرَماً

ويومُه في السَّماحِ دونَ غدِهْ

Yesterday was inferior to today in nobility,

And today is surpassed by tomorrow in generosity.

للَّهِ عبدُ الرَّحمنِ من مَلكٍ

لابسِ ثوبِ السَّماحِ مُعتقدِهْ

To Allah belongs the servant Abdurrahman,

Wearing the garment of generosity, believing in Him.
