صلاح الدين انت له نظام

فما يخشى لعروته انفصَامُ

Saladin, you have a system,

So his glory does not fear fragmentation,

فأظهر سُنة الله احتساباً

فقد ظهرت بها البِدعُ العظام

He showed the tradition of God as a reckoning,

So the great innovations appeared through it,

وفي دين الهدى حدثت امور

بها للدِّين حزن واغتِمام

And in the religion of guidance things happened,

Through which the religion felt sadness and gloom,

جديرٌ ان يقام لها ارتماضاً

مآتم للورى فيها التدام

It is fitting to stand up to them ardently,

Funerals for creation in which subsistence,

وكيف يلذّ للأجفان نومُ

وللاسلام جفنُ لا ينام

And how can sleep delight the eyelids,

And Islam has an eye that does not sleep,

وكيف تطيب في الدنيا حياة

وطيبةُ لا يطيبُ بها مُقام

And how can life be pleasant in the world,

And its pleasantness does not make the stay pleasant,

بتربتها رسول الله ثاوٍ

وليس لأهلها منه احتشام

In its soil the Messenger of God lies dead,

And its people have no modesty towards him,

لو احتَرموه هَابوه يَوماً

لكانَ لصحبه معه احترام

If they had respected him, they would have feared him one day,

His companions would have had respect with him,

وهل يَرضى صَلاتهم عَلَيه

اذا سُبت صَحابتُه الكرام

Are they pleased with their prayers upon him

When his noble companions are cursed?

بأم المؤمنين قد استهانُوا

وللصّديق والفَاروق ذَاموا

They belittled the Mother of the Believers,

And blamed the Truthful and the Farooq,

عَزوا بعد النّبي لهم ضَلالاً

لقد ضَلَّ الغواةُ مااستقاموا

After the Prophet they attributed misguidance to them,

Indeed the strayers did not follow the right path,

وسنّته اضاعوها امتهاناً

فما لهم بواجبها اهتمام

And they neglected his Sunnah disdainfully,

So they had no concern for its obligations,

وليسَ يَذل عندَهم سوى من

له بحميلِ مذهبها ارتسام

And none is humiliated among them except whoever

Adheres to carrying its doctrines,

وما يَرعونَ ذمّةَ زائريه

وللذِّمي قد يُرعى الذّمام

And they do not respect the covenant of its visitors,

While the dhimmi may be given the pact,

ومسجدُه المباركُ عاد سوقاً

لهم فيها على اللّهو ازدِحام

And his blessed mosque has become a market,

In which they crowd for frivolity,

يعيدُ به الصّلاة مؤذَنوه

وما بأمامهم لهم ائتمام

Its muezzins call for prayer in it,

Yet they have no commitment to the imam,

اذا قَاموا لها قَاموا كسالَى

على كره كأنّهم نِيام

When they stand for it, they stand lazily,

As if they are asleep against their will,

يضيعون المَواقيت اقتَصاداً

ليعدِم للصّلاةِ به انتظام

They neglect the times of prayer frugally,

So that the prayer lacks organization in it,

وروضَتَه المقدَّسَة استَباحوا

مَهابتها فأدمعها سجَام

And they deemed permissible its inviolable garden,

So its sanctity made them shed tears,

اذا حَفوا بها لَعِبوا ازدراءً

وكان لهم بِتربتها انتخِام

If they circle it, they play disdainfully,

And they wiped their feet in its soil,

وقاموا للسّلام وفيه لَعنٌ

لقد سَاءَ الهدى ذاك المَقام

And they stood up for the greeting with curses in it,

Indeed, that position became evil guidance,

ويَرقى فوقَ مِنبره خَطيب

له في الدين خَطبٌ لا يرام

And a preacher climbs its pulpit,

Whose sermons in religion are not desirable,

هو القاضي وحَسبك من قَضَاءٍ

له بالجَور في الشّرع احتِكام

He is the judge, and that is enough judgment for you,

With injustice in Sharia he judges,

يغرُهمُ لفاطمة انتِساب

وما لهم بحرمتها التِئَام

Lineage to Fatima deludes them,

And they do not have commitment to her sanctity,

وهَل يغني انتِسابهم اليها

وعن دينِ الهدى لهم انصِرَام

Does their lineage to her benefit them,

While they deviated from the religion of guidance?

ونوحٌ لابنه لم يغنِ شيئاً

ولا اغناهُ بالجَبل اعتصام

Nuh's intercession did not benefit his son at all,

Nor did clinging to the mountain avail him,

اعزّ الله بالاسلام قَوماً

فليسَ له بغيرِهم قَوام

May God honor a people through Islam,

For it has no stability except through them,

فذلّت فِرقة طعنت عليهم

وهيلَ على أنوفهم الرّغام

So a faction that blasphemed against them was disgraced,

And snub noses were rubbed in the dust,

وكيف يعَزَّ عندَ الله قَومٌ

ودينُ الله بينهم يضَام

How can a people have honor with God,

While the religion of God is violated among them?

نقوم الى الصّلاةِ وهم قعودٌ

ويَعلو عِندَها لهمُ الكّلام

We stand for prayer while they sit,

And excessive talk is exalted among them during it,

بلعنٍ صمّتَ الآذانُ منه

وسبّ للصحابة يستَدَام

With curses the call to prayer falls silent,

And cursing of the companions persists,

وتَقرأ بين ايديهم جِهاراً

تَوالف كلها زُورٌ سَخَام

And you recite loudly between their hands,

Books that are all shameful lies,

ويَسعى بينَ أيدينا اعتِراضاً

لقطعِ صَلاتِنا منهمُ طَغَام

And riffraff come between our hands objectionably,

To cut off our prayers among them the rabble,

فلا المَأموم يَدرى ما يُصلّي

ولا يَدري بما صلَى الإمام

So neither the congregation knows what to pray,

Nor does the imam know what he has prayed,

تَراهم يَسخرون بنا احتِقارا

وللأحقادِ عندَهم احتِدام

You see them mocking us disdainfully,

And their resentments are inflamed among them,

ويعتَقِدونَنا نَجساً خَبيثاً

فليسَ لهم لجانِبنا انضِمام

They believe we are impure and wicked,

So they do not join our side,

يرونَ الجَمع للاختَينِ حِلاّ

وتعطَى البِنتُ ما يَرِث الغلام

They see the gathering of the two sisters as permitted,

And the daughter is given what the boy inherits,

وما التّجميعُ عندَهم بشَرعٍ

لقد تَاهوا بباطِلِهِم وهَاموا

And their assembly is not based on law,

They have gone astray with their falsehood and raved,

يُقيمونَ الصَّلاةَ وهم فُرادى

لقد شردوا كما شرد النّعامُ

They hold the prayer individually,

They have scattered just as ostriches scatter,

وليس لهم من الاسلام حظ

ولو صَلوا مدى الدُّنيا وصَاموا

They have no share of Islam,

Even if they prayed the world away and fasted,

ومن قد خالفَ السّلف اتبداعاً

أتنفعه الصّلاة أَو الصِّيام

Whoever differs from the predecessors innovatively,

Do the prayer or fasting benefit him?

لقد مَرقوا من الدَين اعتداء

كما مَرَقت من المرمى السِّهام

They have deviated from the religion aggressively,

Like arrows that missed their target,

لهم من أهل مذهبهم شيوخٌ

أقاموا بينَ أظهرهم ودَاموا

They have shaykhs from the people of their doctrine,

Who established among their midst and remained,

فكم غمر أضلُّوا واستزلّوا

قحُمّ على الضّلاَل له الحِمام

How many fools they have misguided and lured,

Rambunctious fools thrust into misguidance,

وكم غرٍ ببذلِ المال غَرُّوا

فكانَ على الحُطَام له انحِطام

And how many deceived by paying money,

So over ruin he ended up ruined,

فأضرم بالمدينة نار غيّ

أَبت الا يَزالَ لها اضطرام

He kindled in Medina a deviant fire,

That insisted on keep burning,

وأوسع أهلها بِراً وُبراً

فكان لَهم على الغيِّ اقتحام

And brought its people extensive immorality,

So they insisted on attacking immorality,

فَما يُرجى لهم أَبداً فَلاح

ولا رشدٌ وهل يُرجى الجَهام

They will never achieve success,

Nor guidance, does a predator hope for life?

وما لهم الى خيرٍ مضاءٌ

مدى الدّنيا وهل يَمضي الكَهام

They have no path towards good,

For the length of the world, does an arrow fly endlessly?

لَعمُرك إنهم داء عُضَالٌ

وما بِسوى الحُسام له انحِسامُ

By your life, they are an incurable disease,

And nothing but the swords will end it,

ومن لم يرض حكم الله شرعاً

فما دَمه لَسافِكهِ حَرَام

Whoever does not accept God's ruling in law,

His blood is prohibited for his shedder,

إِذا انحطَّ الرَّعية في هَواها

ولم تَردَع فراعيها يُلام

If the flock sinks into its desires,

And its shepherds are not blamed,

وان نشأت عوارضُ للاعادي

فَبرقُ السّيفِ اول ما يُشامُ

And if the enemies arise with afflictions,

The first resort is the flashing of the sword,

فأمض الهمّة العليا اليهم

وجَاهِد ايها الملكُ الهُمام

Firmly determine for them, O courageous king,

And fight, you courageous one,

وأرض المُصطفى في صاحبِيه

بنصر لا يفلّ له اعتزام

The land of the Chosen One, through his two companions,

With victory that has resolute determination,

أتاكَ رضاه عفواً فاغتنمه

لما ترجو وحقّ له اغتنام

His satisfaction came to you freely, so take advantage of it,

For what you hope, and it is truly worthy of taking hold of,

أَيقبُلُ منك عندَ لله عُذر

ومالك من اعاديه انتقَام

Does any excuse with God accept from you,

While you have the means of avenging His enemies?

وما نالَ الحجاز بكم صَلاحاً

وقد نَالته مِصرٌ والشّآم

And the Hejaz did not achieve reform through you,

While Egypt and Syria achieved it,

ولولا هَيبةٌ لدفينهم لم

تُحجّ الكعبة البيت الحرام

Were it not for awe of their burial places,

The Sacred House would not have been performed pilgrimage,

فإن اسلمتَ دِين الله فيها

على الدُّنيا وساكنها السّلام

So if you submit the religion of God in it,

Peace unto the world and its inhabitants.
