1. مَسلمَ يا مسلحة الحروبِ

    انت المصفىّ من اذى العيوب

    Maslam, O bastion of war,

    you are purified of the taint of flaws,

  2. مصاصة من كرم وطيب

    لولا ثقاف ليس بالتدبيب

    the pure essence of nobility and goodness.

    Were it not for a straightening rod—not stealthy scheming—

  3. تفرى به عن حجب القلوب

    لامست الامة شاء الذيب

    with which you tear aside the veils of hearts,

    the community would have become the wolf’s sheep.
