تَضُمُّهُ وَالرِّفَاقُ المُقْتَدِينَ بِهِ

عُرَى يَقِينٍ مَتِينٍ لَيْسَ تَنْفَصِمُ

He embraces it, and the comrades who follow his lead,

The bonds of steadfast, resolute conviction that will not break.

وَمَا صَحَابَتُهُ إِلاَّ شُيُوخُ نُهًى

إِنْ سُوهِمُوا فِي مَجَالاتِ الْعُلَى سَهَمُوا

And his companions are none but venerable, wise mentors,

If they miss the mark in the highest pursuits, they hit it.

وَفِتْيَةٌ نُجُبٌ صًيَّابَةٌ غُلُبٌ

وَافُونَ وَعَدُوا مَاضُونَ إِنْ عَزَمُوا

And fine, noble youths, virtuous, bold and dutiful,

Who keep their word and fulfill what they have sworn,

بَرُّوا بِمَا أَقْسَمُوا طَوْعاً لأَنْفُسِهِمُ

فَكَانَ آيَةَ فَتْحٍ ذَلِكَ الْقَسَمُ

They have excelled in what they have sworn by their own will.

Thus their oath was a sign of victory.

سَارُوا بِإِمْرَتِهِ وَالحَقُّ رَائِدُهُمْ

فضمَا يُرَى وَكُلٌّ فِيهِمْ وَلا بَرِمُ

They marched on by his command, and truth led them,

So he sees them as one, and they see no fault in him.
