أإخْوانَنا لا تنْسَوا الفضْلَ والعَطْفا
فقدْ كادَ نُورُ الله بالكُفْرِ أنْ يُطْفا
O brothers, do not forget the favor and kindness
For the light of God was almost extinguished by disbelief
وإذْ بلغَ الماءُ الزُّبَى فتدارَكوا
فقدْ بسَطَ الدّينُ الحَنيفُ لكُمْ كَفّا
And when the water reached dangerous levels, you intervened
For the upright religion has provided you with strength
تَحَكّمَ في سُكّانِ أندَلُسَ العِدَى
فلَهفاً على الإسلامِ ما بينَهُمْ لهْفا
Oppression took control of the people of Al-Andalus
Eagerly desiring the destruction of Islam amongst them
وقدْ مُزِجَتْ أمْواهُها بدِمائِها
فإنْ ظمِئَتْ لا رِيَّ إلاّ الرّدَى صِرْفا
Their waters have been mixed with their blood
If it was thirsty, there was no watering except with harm
وجاسَتْ جُيوشُ الكُفْرِ بيْنَ خِلالِها
فَلا حافِراً أبْقَتْ علَيْها ولا ظِلْفا
The armies of disbelief moved among them
Leaving no hoof or trace upon it
أنَوْماً وإغْفاءً علَى سِنَةِ الكَرى
وما نامَ طرْفٌ في حِماها ولا أغْفى
Sleeping and heedless of the way of fate
No eye among them slept or was oblivious
أحاطَ بِنا الأعْداءُ منْ كلِّ جانِبٍ
فلا وَزَراً عنْهُمْ وجَدْنا ولا كَهْفا
The enemies have surrounded us from all sides
We found no help or refuge from them
ثُغورٌ غدَتْ مثْلَ الثّغورِ ضَواحِكاً
أقامَ علَيْها الكُفْرُ يرْشُفُها رَشْفا
The strongholds have become like vulnerable strongholds
Upon which disbelief resides and sips
فمِنْ معْقِلٍ حلّ العَدوُّ عِقالَهُ
ومِنْ مسْجِدٍ صارَ الضّلالُ بهِ وقْفا
So the enemy has unpacked in a fortress
And misguidance took it as a religious endowment
ومِنْ غادَةٍ بكرٍ جلَتْها يدُ الجَلا
ولمْ تدْرِ إلا دايَة قطُّ أو سَجْفا
And an unmarried young woman's purity
Whose hands did not know doll-play or woodcarving
ومِنْ صِبْيَةٍ حُمْرِ الحَواصِلِ أصبَحَتْ
تُقَلِّبُ ذُعْراً بينَ أعْدائِها الطّرْفا
And a rosy-cheeked girl
Who tosses and turns in fear among enemies
ومن نِسْوَةٍ أضحَتْ أيامَى حَواسِراً
تُعايِنُ في أعْوانِها الوَهْنَ والضَّعْفا
And women who became bereaved, grieved
Witnessing weakness and frailty in their protectors
وسِيلَتُنا الإسْلامُ وهْوَ أُخوّةٌ
من الملأِ الأعْلَى تُقَرِّبُنا زُلْفى
Our means is Islam, it is brotherhood
From the Highest Assembly that brings us close
أخَوْفاً وقدْ لُذْنا بِجاهِ مَنِ ارْتَضى
وذُلاً وقدْ عُذْنا بعِزِّ منِ اسْتَصْفَى
Out of fear, though we have taken refuge in the sanctity of the Chosen One
And humiliation, though we have taken refuge in the might of the Exalted
فهَلْ ناصِرٌ مُسْتَبْصِرٌ في يَقينِه
يُجيزُ منِ اسْتَعْدى ويكْفي منِ اسْتَكفى
Is there then a victor, certain in his certainty
Who will avenge the oppressed and suffice the content
ومُسْتَنْجِزٌ فِينا منَ اللهِ وعْدَهُ
فلا نكْثَ في وعْدِ الإلاهِ ولا خُلْفا
And one who fulfills for us God's promise
No breach of the promise of God or violation
وهلْ بائِعٌ فينا منَ اللهِ نفْسَهُ
فلا مُشْتَرٍ أوْلَى منَ اللهِ أو أوْفَى
Is there among you a seller of himself for God
No purchaser worthier than God or more faithful
أفي اللهِ شكّ بعْدَما وضَحَ الهُدَى
وكيْفَ لضَوْءِ الصُبْحِ في الأفْقِ أنْ يَخْفَى
Is there doubt in God after the guidance has become clear
And how can the light of dawn in the horizon be hidden
وكيفَ يَعيثُ الكُفْرُ فينا ودونَنا
قَبائِلُ منكُم تُعْجِزُ الحصْرَ والوصْفا
And how can disbelief ravage us and around us
When tribes among you outnumber counting or description
غُيوثُ نَوالٍ كلّما سُئِلُوا النّوى
لُيوثٌ نِزالٍ كلّما حضَروا الزّحْفا
Helpers of resolve, whenever they are asked for intention
Lions of assault, whenever they attend to battle
إذا كتَبَتْ يوْماً فأقلامُها القَنا
وإنْ أرسَلَتْ يوْماً كانَتْ صَفائِحُها الصُّحْفا
If one day they draw their pens, their scripts
Or if one day they dispatch, their pages would be scriptures
فَقوموا برَسْمِ الحقِّ فِيها فقَدْ عَفا
وهُبّوا لنَصْرِ الدّينِ فيها فقدْ أشْفَى
So stand for the truth in them, for it has excelled
And give for the victory of the religion, for it has healed
وها نحْنُ قدْ لُذْنا بعِزِّ حِماكُمُ
ونَرْجو منَ اللهِ الإدالَةَ واللُّطْفا
And here we are, having taken refuge in your might
Hoping for God's grace and kindness
