1. يَا أَيُّهَا المَلِكُ المنصورُ مِن يَمَنٍ

    وَالمُبتَني نَسَباً غَيرَ الذي انتَسَبَا

    O King al-Mansur, victorious through good fortune,

    And builder of a lineage other than the one you descend from,

  2. بِغَزوَةٍ في قُلُوبِ الشِّركِ رَاتِعَةٍ

    بَينَ المَنَايَا تُنَاغِي السُّمرَ وَالقُضُبَا

    Through a campaign grazing in the hearts of idolatry,

    Amid deaths, cooing to dusky lances and swords.
