    على أهلِهِ يوم يَغزو تَبوكا

    بأكوارهم إذ هم قد رَأوكا

    with their saddles on, when they had already seen you.

  3. يَراك نجيّاً له المسلمونَ

    وكان الإلهُ الذي يَنتجيكا

    The Muslims see you as his confidant,

    and it was God who spoke privately with you,

  4. على فمِ أحمدَ يُوحي إليكَ

    وأهلُ الضغائنِ مُسْتَشْرِفوكا

    through Ahmad's mouth, imparting revelation to you,

    while those harboring grudges gazed intently at you.
