لَكَ اللهُ فِيمَا تَنْتَحِيهِ وَمَا تَقْضِي

فَأَنْتَ الَّذِي أَقْرَضْتَهُ أَحْسَنَ الْقَرْضِ

God is with you in what you choose and decree

You who lent most generously when others would not

وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي أَحْيَيْتَ شِرْعَةَ دِينِهِ

وَقَدْ رُفِضَتْ أَحْكَمُهَا أَيَّمَا رَفْضِ

You who revived the law of His religion

Though most of its rules were neglected and lost

وَلَوْلاَكَ لَمْ تَنْهَلَّ بِالغَيْثِ ديمَةٌ

وَلَمْ تَرْفُلِ الأَغْصَانُ فِي الْوَرَقِ الْغَضِّ

Without you, no meadows would fill with rain

No boughs would blossom with tender new leaves

وَلاَ قَرَّ قَلْبٌ فِي قَرَارِ ضُلُوعِهِ

وَلَمْ تَعْرِفِ الأَجْفَانُ مَا لذَّةُ الغَمْضِ

No heart would find peace within a warm chest

No eyelid would know the sweetness of rest

وَلَمَّا أَبَى الأَعدَاءُ إِلاَّ لَجَاجَةً

نَهَضْتَ بِأَمْرِ اللهِ أَحْسَنَ مَا نَهْضِ

And when enemies persisted in their defiance

You rose at God's command to bring them to heel

مُقِيماً بِمَا اسْتَرعَاكَ فَرْضَ جِهَادِهِمْ

وَلَمْ تَأَلُ فِي نَدْبِ إِلَيْهِ وَفِي حَضِّ

Upholding your sacred obligation to smite them

Relentlessly summoning others to join in the fight

وَأَعْدَدْتَ مِنْ غُرِّ الْجِيَادِ صَوَافِنا

مُطَهَّمَةً مِنْ كُلِّ أَجْرَد منقَضِّ

You readied steeds from the noblest breed

Their bridles ring true with no jangle or clink

يَشِفُّ حِجَابُ النَّقْعِ عَنْ قَسَمَاتِهَا

كَمَا شَفَّ جَهْمُ السُّحْبِ عَنْ بَارِقِ الوَمْضِ

The blankets upon them gleam bright, freshly woven

As lightning illuminates the gloom before night

وَمَا رَاعَ مَلْكَ الرُّومِ إِلاَّ طُلُوعُهَا

سَوَابِحَ تُزْجِيَها رِيَاحٌ مِنَ الرَّكْضِ

Rome's empire was shattered at their first charge

The wind itself racing behind them to push

وَنَادىَ لِسَانُ الفَتْحِ فِي عَرَصَاتِهِمْ

كَذَلِكَ مَكَّنَا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الأَرْضِ

Victory's tongue cried out in their battlefields

Thus did We empower Joseph in the land
