كَأَنَّما النَّارَنْجُ لَمَّا بَدَتْ

أَغْصَانُهُ فِي الوَرَقِ الخُضْرِ

As if the fire were a narcissus

When its branches appeared in the green leaves,

زُمُرُّدٌ أَبْدَى لَنَا أَنْجُمَاً

مَعْجُونَةً مِنْ خَالِصِ التِّبْرِ

An emerald that showed us stars

Kneaded with pure ambergris.

إَذَا تَحَيَّيْنَا بِهِ خِلْتَنَا

نَسْتَنْشِقُ المِسْكَ مِنَ الخَمْرِ

When we greet it in our gatherings

We smell the musk in the wine.

آلَ الرَّسُولِ فَضَلْتُمُ

فَضْلَ النُّجُومِ الزَّاهِرَهْ

O family of the Messenger, you are superior

To the shining stars,

وَبَهَرْتُمُ أَعْدَاءَكُمْ

بالمَأْثُرَاتِ السَّائِرَهْ

And you dazzled your enemies

With your flowing virtues,

وَلَكُمْ مَعَ الشَّرَفِ البَلاَ

غَةُ والحُلُومُ الوَافِرَهْ

And along with nobility you have

Eloquence and abundant favors.

فَإِذَا تُفُوخِرَ بالعُلاَ

فَيِكُمْ عُلاَكُمْ فَاخِرَهْ

So if you take pride in your nobility,

Then yours is a pride that makes you eminent.

هَذَا وَكَمْ أَطْفَأْتُمُ

عَنْ أَحْمَدٍ مِنْ نَائِرَهْ

And how many fires threatening Ahmad

You extinguished with spears,

بِالسُّمْرِ تخضب بالنجيع

وبالسيوف الباتدة

Which you dip in blood,

And with bare blades

تشفى بِهَا أَكْبَادُكُمْ

مِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ كَافِرَهْ

With them your livers are healed

From every infidel soul.

وَرَفَضْتُمُ الدُّنْيَا لَدُنْ

فُزْتُمْ بِحَظِّ الآخِرَهْ

And you spurned the world from of old

And won the fortune of the hereafter.
