قَسَماً بِمَن ضَمَّت أَباطِحُ مَكَّةٍ

وَبِمَن حَواهُ مِنَ الحَجيجِ المَوقِفُ

I swear by He who the valleys of Mecca embraced

And by He who the standing pilgrims harbored

لَو لَم يَقُم موسى بِنَصرِ مُحَمَّدٍ

لَعَلا عَلى دَرجِ الخَطيبِ الأسقُفُ

Had Moses not supported Muhammad

The bishop would have stood on the pulpit

لَولاهُ ما ذلَّ الصَليبُ وَأَهلهُ

في ثغرِ دِمياطٍ وَعِزَّ المُصحَفُ

Were it not for him, neither the cross nor its people

Would have been disgraced at Damietta nor would the Quran have been honored
