مَغيبُكَ سَيفَ اللَهِ في غِمدِكَ الثَرى

مَغيبُكَ سَيفَ اللَهِ في غِمدِكَ الثَرى

دَليلٌ بِأَنَّ اللَهَ لا شَكَّ واحِدُ

دَليلٌ بِأَنَّ اللَهَ لا شَكَّ واحِدُ

Your passing, O Sword of God, into your sheath—the earth—

Your absence is like the sword of God sheathed in earth

Is proof that God is, without doubt, One.

Proof that God is undoubtedly One

فَلَو أَنَّ فَذّاً خَلَدَتهُ فُتوحُهُ

فَلَو أَنَّ فَذّاً خَلَدَتهُ فُتوحُهُ

لَما كانَ في الأَقوامِ إِلاكَ خالِدُ

لَما كانَ في الأَقوامِ إِلاكَ خالِدُ

For if a peerless man were made immortal by his conquests,

For if conquest had made a hero immortal

None among the peoples but you, Khalid, would be immortal.

Among peoples, none but you would have been immortal
