جُذامٌ سُيوفُ اللَهِ في كُلِّ مَوطِنٍ

إِذا أَزَمَت يَومَ اللِقاءِ أُزامِ

The swords of God in every place,

When the time of confrontation becomes pressing.

هُمُ مَنَعوا ما بَينَ مِصرٍ فَذي القُرى

إِلى الشامِ مِن حِلٍّ بِهِ وَحَرامِ

They prevented what is between Egypt and the sacred place,

To Al-Sham from permitted and forbidden.

بِضَربٍ يُزيلُ الهامَ عَن سَكَناتِهِ

وَطَعنٍ كَإيزاعِ المَخاضِ تُؤامِ

With a strike that removes anxiety from its dwellings,

And a stab like the pain of childbirth.

إِذا قَصَّرَت يَوماً أَكُفُّ قَبيلَةٍ

عَنِ المَجدِ نالَتهُ أَكُفُّ جُذامِ

If one day a tribe falls short,

Of glory, the palms of Judham attain it.
