هُوَ الفَتْحُ بَعْدَ الفَتْحِ يَأتِي مُسَوَّغَا

وَما وَلَجَتْ في مَسْمَعٍ لُجَّةُ الوَغَى

He is the victory after victory that comes justified

No clamor of turmoil has penetrated a hearing

وَلا دَلَفَتْ أُسْدُ الهِيَاج لِمِثْلِها

بِأَيْمَانِها مِثْلُ الأسَاوِدِ لُدَّغا

Nor has the lion of excitement attacked the likes of it

By its oaths, the likes of lions have been stung

رُديْنيَّةٌ قَامَتْ لها بِنيُوبِهَا

لِتُوغِلَها ماءَ النحُورِ وتُولِغَا

A she-wolf stood up for it with her fangs

To make its gullets overflow and accomplish

كَأنَّ الرَّدَى آسٍ وهُنَّ مَبَاضِعٌ

تُريقُ دَمَ الباغِينَ مَهْمَا تَبَيَّغا

As if the UN horses and they are spots

That shed the blood of aggressors no matter how much they feign

أَقَرَّ مهيناً مَنْ تَخَمَّطَ ضِلَّةً

وَقَرَّ علَى الإِذْعانِ والهونِ مَنْ طَغَا

He settled humiliated whoever wallowed in misguidance

And settled on submission and disgrace whoever transgressed

وَمازَالَتْ الأَيَّامُ حَرْبَاً لمَنْ بَغَى

عَليكَ إلَى أَنْ عَادَ سِلْماً كَما انْبَغَى

And the days continued war for whoever transgressed

Against you until it returned peace as befitting

بِحَسْبِكَ جَدٌّ صاعِدٌ يقْهَر العِدَى

مِنَ الجَيشِ جَمَّاعِ الصَّهيلِ إلَى الرُّغَا

Your determination ascending suffices to defeat the enemy

From the army the neighing horde to the growling

أَلا هَذِهِ الآفاقُ نَحْوَكَ تَرْتَمِي

لِتُدرِك أَقصَى ما تَرُومُ وتَبْلُغَا

Behold these horizons towards you extend

To attain the utmost you seek and achieve

وَما تَبْتَغي إِلا رِضَاكَ ذَخِيرَةً

وَهَلْ غَيْرُهُ ذُخْراً يُرَجَّى ويُبْتَغَى

And you desire nothing but your satisfaction as provision

And is there other than it desirable provision that is sought?

فَبِالأَمْسِ أَلْقَتْ بالمَقَادَةِ سَبْتَةٌ

فأَوْرَثَها عِدّاً مِنَ الأَمْنِ سَيِّغا

So yesterday Sefet threw in Maqadah then

Inherited it security instead of fear

وَحَطَّتْ بكَ اليَوم المَريةُ رَحْلَها

فَأَقْطَعَها رَغْداً مِنَ العَيْشِ أهْيَغَا

And Mariah dismounted by you today her encampment

So you endowed it prosperity of living instead of misery

لَقَدْ قَرَعَتْ لِلفَوْزِ باباً مُفَتَّحا

وأَمَّتْ إِماماً للنَّجَاةِ مُبلِّغا

She has knocked on the door of victory opened

And supplicated a leader of salvation conveying

يُخَافُ وَيُرْجَى بَيْنَ حِلْمٍ وبَطْشَةٍ

أَقامَهُما فِيمَن أَطَاعَ وَمنْ بَغَى

He is feared and hoped between forbearance and severity

He made them straight for whoever obeyed and transgressed

فَكَمْ عَادَ مُخضَرّاً مِنَ العَيْشِ أغْبَرا

وكَمْ عَادَ مُغْبَرّاً مِنَ العَيْشِ أرْفَغا

So how much returned blooming out of living dusty

And how much returned dusty out of living plush

أقَامَت صغَا الدّينِ الحَنيفِ صِعَادُهُ

وَأسْعَدَهُ حتَّى اسْتَقَل بِلا صَغا

It established the moorings of the religion of Hanif so it triumphed

And brought it success until it dominated effortlessly

هُوَ القَمَرُ الوَضَّاحُ مَا لاحَ لَمْ نُبَلْ

بأَنْ يأْفلَ البَدْرُ الفَياحُ وَيَبْزُغَا

He is the apparent full moon we have not become old

For the shining full moon to set and another to rise

إلَيْهِ أشارَ ابْنُ الحُسَيْنِ بِقَوْلِهِ

عَليمٌ بأَسْرَارِ الدِّياناتِ واللُّغَا

He is the one Ibn Al-Hussein pointed to in his words

Knowledgeable of the secrets of religions and languages

أَلا إنَّ يَحْيَى المُرْتَضَى عِصْمَةُ الوَرَى

بهِ أسْبَلَ اللَّهُ الأَمَان وأَسْبَغا

Behold Yahya the chosen one the protection of all

With him Allah draped security and perfected it

تَفَرَّغَ للإِحْسَانِ والعَدْلِ والتُّقَى

وَيا لهَا أَشْغَالاً لِمَنْ قَدْ تَفَرَّغا

He devoted himself to benevolence, justice and piety

And oh what an occupation for one who has devoted

يُبيحُ انْهِلالاً جُودهُ وتَهَلُّلا

وَيحْظُرُ أَنْ يَأْسَى المَسِيفُ ويَنْشَغا

His generosity permits outpouring and his happiness overflowing

And prohibits that the needy despair and busy themselves

وَما يُحْسِنُ الفَرْغان صُنْعَ صَنَائِعٍ

تُرَب وإنْ صبّاً مَلِيئاً وَأَفْرَغا

He is not skilled in the making of makers' making

That forms even if a pot filled and poured out

كَفيلٌ نَدَاهُ المُسْتَهِلُّ وبَأْسُهُ

بأَنْ يَشْعُرَ السِّكِّيتُ فيهِ ويَنْبُغَا

His aid called by the asker and his might

That the lion feel him and yearn

تَخِيمُ الأُسودُ الغُلْبُ عنهُ مَهَابَةً

فَمَا الثَّعلبُ الرَّوَّاغُ مِنْها بأَرْوَغَا

The black lions shroud overwhelming awe from him

So the sly fox with him is not slippery

وتُبْدِي لَهُ العَلْياءُ هزَّةَ مِعْطَفٍ

بِما هَزَّ في الذَّمْرِ القَنَاةَ وشَغْشَغَا

And the lofty show him the fluttering of a cloak's hem

With what fluttered the flesh of the skinny and jiggled

يُلاقِيهِ لَبَّاساً مِنَ السَّرْدِ أَزْرَقاً

فَيَثْنيهِ مِنْ قَانِي الدِّماء مُصبَّغا

Wearing against him a coat of mail of blue iron

So he bends it with the blood of the slain dyed

بِهِ دَفع الحَقُّ الضَّلالَ وهَاضَهُ

فَلوْلاهُ ما كانَ الضَّلالُ لِيُدْمَغَا

With him the truth repelled falsehood and erased it

Else without him falsehood would not have been erased

أطَلَّ علَى الدُّنيا هُداهُ وَقدْ غَدَتْ

ورَاحَتْ شَيَاطِينُ الغَوايَة نُزَّغَا

His guidance emerged while the world had gone

And the devils of misguidance crept away

فَأَتْبَعَها شُهْباً ثَوَاقِبَ لِلقَنَى

تُحَرِّقُها حتَّى فَشَا وتَفَشَّغَا

So he followed them with meteors to the rebel

Burning them until it spread and ignited

وَلَمَّ الوَرَى شَمْلاً وَكانوا كَأَنَّما

رَغَا وسطَهمْ سَقْبُ السَّماءِ وَما رَغَا

And he united the people while they were as if

The sky's canopy rumbled and did not rumble over them

فإِن غادَرَ التَّجْسيمَ شلْواً مُمَزَّعاً

فَقَدْ صانَ للتَّوحيدِ وَجْهاً مُمَرَّغَا

So if he left incarnation paralyzed fragmented

He protected the oneness of a face wiped
