1. ليشكُر بنو العباس نعمى تجدّدت

    فقد وعدَ اللَه المزيد على الشكر

    Let the sons of Abbas give thanks for a renewed blessing;

    for God has promised more in return for gratitude.

  2. لقد جنّبتكُم أسرةٌ حسدتكُم

    فسلَت على الإسلامِ سيفاً من الكفر

    You have indeed been spared a clan that envied you

    and drew against Islam a sword of unbelief.

  3. وقد نغّصتهم جولةٌ بعد جولةٍ

    يبيتون فيها المسلمينَ على ذعرِ

    And bout after bout of fighting has embittered them;

    during which they make the Muslims spend the night in terror.
