اليوم أَنْكَصَ إِبليسٌ عَلَى عَقِبِهْ

مُبَرَّءاً سَبَبُ الغاوينَ من سَبَبِهْ

Today Iblis retreated back on his heels

Exonerating the misguided of his misguidance

واسْتَيْقَنَتْ شِيَعُ الكفَّارِ حَيْثُ نَأَتْ

فِي الشَّرْقِ والغربِ أَنَّ الشِّركَ من كَذِبِهْ

And the followers of the unbelievers became certain

In the East and West, that polytheism was of his lies

بِشنْتِياقَةَ لما أَن دَلَفْتَ لَهُ

بالبِيضِ كالبدرِ يَسْرِي فِي سَنا شُهُبِهْ

Yearning when you entered it

With the white like the full moon walking in the gray of his old age

وحَلْبَةُ الدينِ والإِسلامِ عاطِفَةٌ

عَلَيْكَ كالفَلَكِ الجاري عَلَى قُطُبِهْ

And the sphere of religion and Islam was inclined

Towards you like the orbiting sphere to its axis

حَتَّى فَصَمْتَ عُرى دينِ الضلالَةِ من

راسِ القواعِدِ ممنوعِ الحِمى أَشِبِهْ

Until you untied the bonds of the religion of misguidance

From the head of its pillars, forbidden sanctuary like it

لَمْ يَذْعَرِ الدهرُ فيه نَفْسَ سَائِمَةٍ

ولا أَصاخَتْ لَهُ أُذْنٌ إِلَى نُوَبِهْ

The era did not panic in it a wondering soul

Nor did an ear scream to its disasters

مما اصْطَفَتْ عَبَدُ الطَّاغُوتِ واعتقدَتْ

وشَيَّدَ الكُفْرُ فِي الآلافِ من حِقَبِهْ

From what the servant of tyranny chose and believed

And disbelief built in the thousands of its eras

عمودُ شِركِهِمُ السَّامِي ذوائِبُهُ

والرُّومُ والحُبْشُ والأَفْرنْجُ من طُنُبِهْ

The high pillar of their polytheism and its attachments

And the Romans, Abyssinians and Franks from its bundles

تَحجُّهُ فِرَقُ الكُفَّارِ سائِلَةً

كالجَوِّ أَظْلَمَ فِيهِ مُلتَقى شُحُبِهْ

Which the groups of the unbelievers make pilgrimage to

Like the darkest clouds in which the meeting place of gloom converges

مُسْتَوْدَعٌ فِي شِعابِ الأَرضِ حَيْثُ نَأَى

شُمُّ الجِبالِ ولُجُّ البحرِ من حُجُبِهْ

A repository in the crevices of the earth where it is remote

The smell of mountains and depth of sea from its barriers

من كُلِّ أَغبَرَ من عَضِّ السِّفارِ بِهِ

وساهِمِ الوجه من طُولِ السُّرَى شَجِبِهْ

From every dust from the bite of traveling in it

And the one with the grim face from the length of its captivity

وكلِّ مُهْدٍ إِلَى أَركانِ بِيعَتِهِ

مَا عزَّ من نفسِهِ فِيهَا ومن نَشَبِهْ

And every supporter to the pillars of its pledge

That did not hesitate from himself in it and from his determination

قَدْ طالما أَحْفَتِ الأَملاكُ أَرْجُلَها

فِيهِ وَخَرَّتْ عَلَى الأَذْقانِ من رَهبِهْ

The angels have long folded their feet in it

And fell on their chins from awe of it

أَمَمْتَهُ بجنودِ الحقِّ فانْقَلَبَتْ

بغُرَّةِ الفتحِ من تغييرِ مُنْقَلَبِهْ

You destroyed it with the soldiers of truth so it was transformed

With the joy of victory from the change of its transformation

وسُمْتَهُ جاحِماً للنارِ مَا بَقِيَتْ

نفسٌ من الكفرِ إِلّا وَهْيَ من حَطَبِهْ

And you called it raging into the fire until no soul remains

From disbelief except it becomes of its kindling

يا حُسْنَ مرأَى الهُدى من قُبْحِ مَنْظَرِهِ

وبَرْدَ أَكبادِ حزبِ الله من لَهَبِهْ

O beautiful sight of guidance from the ugliness of its view

And coolness of the livers of God's party from its flames

وعاذ بِرْمُندُ منهُ بالفرارِ وكَمْ

من قبلِها عاذَ بالأَنصابَ من صُلُبِهْ

And Bermund fled from it in escape, and how much

Before it fled to idols from its crucifixion

مستوطِناً مَرْكِبَ الإِحجامِ عنكَ وَهَلْ

يعدُو بِهِ وِجْهَةَ المحتومِ من عَطَبِهْ

Inhabiting the ship of restraint from you, but does it

Escape the ordained fate from its loss

مُسْتَخْفِياً بظلامِ الليلِ منكَ فَإِنْ

وافاهُ صُبْحٌ توارى فِي دُجى كُرَبِهْ

Hiding in the darkness of night from you, but if

Morning meets it, it hides in the gloom of its anguish

قَدْ حَقَّتِ اليومَ منه قَلْبِ مُلْتَهِبٍ

For it the heart of an inflamed one that does not deter

Birds in a plain or a mountain today has become lawful

لا يزجُرُ الطَّيْرَ فِي سهلٍ ولا جَبَلٍ

إِلّا بوارِحَ تُعْمِي عَيْنَ مُقْتَرِبِهْ

Except with limbs that blind the approaching eye from it

And where is the way to victory from you when you have

وأَيْنَ منه سبيلُ الفوزِ منكَ وَقَدْ

سَلَلْتَ سيفَ الهُدى والنَّصْرِ فِي طَلَبِهْ

Unsheathed the sword of guidance and victory in its pursuit

And Iliyya which was steadfast with effort

و إِيلياءُ الَّتِي كانَتْ أَلِيَّة ذِي

جَهْدٍ من الشِّرْكِ خاشِي الإِثْمِ مُرْتَقِبِهْ

From polytheism, fearing sin while expecting it

You raised from it the elevation of fire which illuminated for them

رفَعْتَ منها سَنا نارٍ أَضاءَ لَهُمْ

مَا كَانَ أَوْدَعَها الشيطانُ من رِيَبِهْ

What Satan had made ambiguous for them from its doubt

A determination from you that if a pile kindled

يشُبُّها منكَ عزمٌ لَوْ وَنَى ضَرَمٌ

منها لأَضْرَمَها فِي اللهِ منْ غَضَبِهْ

From it, would ignite it for God from its anger

So may God reward you O Mansur, you called Him

فالله جازِيكَ يَا منصورُ دَعَوْتَهُ

بسَعْيِ ماضٍ لنصرِ الدين مُحْتَسِبِهْ

With honest effort to aid the religion, its reward exacted

And you led brigades for Islam with them

وعن كتائِبَ للإِسلامِ قُدْتَ بِهَا

إِلَى رِضا اللهِ حَتَّى كُنَّ من كُتُبِهْ

To the pleasure of God until they become of His scriptures

And a believer erecting himself to God his stance

ومؤمِنٍ مُنْصِبٍ للهِ مُهْجَتَهُ

بَلَّغْتَهُ أَمَدَ المغبوطِ مِن نَصَبِهْ

You let him reach the horizon of the blissful from his erecting

And of swords of guidance whose blades you did not bare

وعن حُسامِ هُدىً لَمْ تَجْلُ صفحَتَهُ

إِلّا أَسَلْتَ دِماءَ الشِّرْكِ فِي شُطَبِهْ

Except you made the blood of polytheism flow in its polishedness

And let Mansur boast on a day of exaltation you left

وليفتَخِرْ منك يَا مَنْصُورُ يَوْمُ عُلاً

تركتَ غابِرَةَ الأَيامِ تَفَخَرُ بِهْ

The passing days boasting with it
