1. يَا أَيُّهَا المَلِكُ المنصورُ مِن يَمَنٍ

    وَالمُبتَني نَسَباً غَيرَ الذي انتَسَبَا

    O King al-Mansur, from Yemen,

    And you who build a lineage other than the one you descended from,

  2. بِغَزوَةٍ في قُلُوبِ الشِّركِ رَاتِعَةٍ

    بَينَ المَنَايَا تُنَاغِي السُّمرَ وَالقُضُبَا

    Through a raid grazing freely in the hearts of polytheism,

    Amid deaths, cooing to the tawny spears and swords.
