أُريَّة أَنتِ فائِدَةُ الزمانِ

أُريَّة أَنتِ فائِدَةُ الزمانِ

فَقَد فُقتِ المَمالِكَ في مَعانِ

فَقَد فُقتِ المَمالِكَ في مَعانِ

Uriyya, you are the prize of the age,

Orietta, you are the gem of time

For you have surpassed kingdoms in your merits.

You have conquered kingdoms with resolve

وَقَد رُمناكِ مِن بَلَدٍ بَعيدٍ

وَقَد رُمناكِ مِن بَلَدٍ بَعيدٍ

فَأَدناكِ الإِلَهُ بِلا تَوانِ

فَأَدناكِ الإِلَهُ بِلا تَوانِ

And we sought you from a distant land,

We sought you from a distant land

So God brought you near without delay.

God brought you near without delay

بَذَلنا جُهدَنا عَزما وَحَزماً

بَذَلنا جُهدَنا عَزما وَحَزماً

وَوَطَّنّا الكُماةَ عَلى الطِعانِ

وَوَطَّنّا الكُماةَ عَلى الطِعانِ

We gave our utmost in resolve and prudence,

We exerted our determination and prudence

And prepared the armored warriors for spear combat.

And accustomed the critics to blame

وَأَجهَدنا العَزائِمَ وَالمَساعي

وَأَجهَدنا العَزائِمَ وَالمَساعي

وَأَعملَنا الحُسامَ مَعَ السِنانِ

وَأَعملَنا الحُسامَ مَعَ السِنانِ

And we exerted our resolve and efforts to the utmost,

We employed our wills and efforts

And wielded the keen sword alongside the spearhead.

And wielded swords with spears

لِيُهَنيء أَهلَ مالِقَةَ اِنتِصاري

لِيُهَنيء أَهلَ مالِقَةَ اِنتِصاري

وَإِعزازي لَهُم بَعدَ الهَوانِ

وَإِعزازي لَهُم بَعدَ الهَوانِ

May my victory gladden the people of Málaga,

To bring joy to the people of Malaga after my victory

And my restoring their honor after humiliation.

And honor them after humiliation

سَيُنقِذُهُم وَيُنميهِم جَميعاً

سَيُنقِذُهُم وَيُنميهِم جَميعاً

رِضاعُ الخَيرِ إِن دَرَّت لِباني

رِضاعُ الخَيرِ إِن دَرَّت لِباني

They shall all be rescued and nurtured

Suckling goodness will save and nurture them

By suckling goodness, if my milk flows freely.

If the milk of my kindness flows

وَأُرقيهِم ذُرى دَرَجِ المَعالي

وَأُرقيهِم ذُرى دَرَجِ المَعالي

كَما أُجنيهِمُ ثَمرَ الأَماني

كَما أُجنيهِمُ ثَمرَ الأَماني

And I shall raise them to the highest steps of honor,

And I will raise them to the highest ranks

Just as I let them reap the fruit of their wishes.

As the fruit of my hopes is reaped

وَأَضعافُ الَّذي يُبدي لِساني

وَأَضعافُ الَّذي يُبدي لِساني

إِلَيهِم ما يَجِنُّ لَهُم جِناني

إِلَيهِم ما يَجِنُّ لَهُم جِناني

And many times what my tongue reveals

What my tongue expresses to them

To them is what my heart conceals for them.

Is only a portion of what my soul desires

فَحُقَّ عَلَيهِمُ شُكرُ اِمتِعاضي

فَحُقَّ عَلَيهِمُ شُكرُ اِمتِعاضي

وَما خلقي اِمتِنانٌ بِامتِنانِ

وَما خلقي اِمتِنانٌ بِامتِنانِ

So they owe thanks for my indignation;

They rightly owe me gratitude

Nor is it my nature to boast of favors bestowed.

For my benevolence is not in expectation of return

وَلَكِنَّ الحَقائِقَ مُخبِراتٌ

وَلَكِنَّ الحَقائِقَ مُخبِراتٌ

وَكَم خَبَرٍ يَنوبُ عَنِ العيانِ

وَكَم خَبَرٍ يَنوبُ عَنِ العيانِ

But the facts bear witness,

But truths are revealing

And many a report takes the place of firsthand sight.

And news often replaces seeing

أَلَم أُعتِقهُمُ مِن ذُلِّ كُفرٍ

أَلَم أُعتِقهُمُ مِن ذُلِّ كُفرٍ

جَرى في ضيمِهِم مِلءَ العِنانِ

جَرى في ضيمِهِم مِلءَ العِنانِ

Did I not free them from the humiliation of unbelief,

Did I not free them from the disgrace of blasphemy

That galloped with free rein in oppressing them?

That had held them tightly in its reins

وَتوراةٌ مُحَرَّقَةٌ أَعَزَّت

وَتوراةٌ مُحَرَّقَةٌ أَعَزَّت

فَطالَت ذُلَّةُ السَبعِ المَثاني

فَطالَت ذُلَّةُ السَبعِ المَثاني

And a burned Torah conferred might,

With the burning of their Torah their misery was prolonged

So the humiliation of the Seven Oft-Repeated was prolonged,

Until my resolute Yemeni rage was stirred

إِلى أَن ثارَ بي عَزمٌ يَمانٍ

إِلى أَن ثارَ بي عَزمٌ يَمانٍ

فَأَدرَكَ سُؤلهُ العَضبُ اليَماني

فَأَدرَكَ سُؤلهُ العَضبُ اليَماني

Until a Yemeni resolve arose within me,

And the unsheathed swords got to work

So the keen Yemeni sword attained its desire.

Their decree was the magic of eloquence

وَأُنضيَتِ الصَوارِمُ خاطِياتٍ

وَأُنضيَتِ الصَوارِمُ خاطِياتٍ

فَكانَ قَضاؤها سِحرُ البَيانِ

فَكانَ قَضاؤها سِحرُ البَيانِ

And the keen swords were unsheathed, missing their mark,

Righteousness returned inhabited and prosperous

So their verdict was the magic of eloquence.

While wickedness demolished and in ruins

فَعادَ البِرُّ مَعمورَ المَغاني

فَعادَ البِرُّ مَعمورَ المَغاني

وَآضَ الفسقُ مَهدومَ المَباني

وَآضَ الفسقُ مَهدومَ المَباني

Thus righteousness returned, its abodes flourishing,

Their imam stood to pray

And wickedness was left with its buildings demolished.

And the call to prayer rang in their ears

وَقامَ إِمامُ جامِعِهِم يُصَلّي

وَقامَ إِمامُ جامِعِهِم يُصَلّي

وَآنسَتِ المَسامِعُ بِالآذانِ

وَآنسَتِ المَسامِعُ بِالآذانِ

And the imam of their congregational mosque stood praying,

The rightly guided were either

And ears found comfort in the call to prayer.

Slain or maimed in mind among the impious

وَكانَ ذَوو الهُدى ما بَينَ ثاوٍ

وَكانَ ذَوو الهُدى ما بَينَ ثاوٍ

قَتيلٍ أَو فَقيدِ العَقلِ فانِ

قَتيلٍ أَو فَقيدِ العَقلِ فانِ

And the rightly guided had been either lying

Since the Jews joined with their piety

Slain, or bereft of reason, fading away,

The swords made permissible their wedding

مُذِ اِقتَرَنَت بِبَرِّهِمُ يَهودٌ

مُذِ اِقتَرَنَت بِبَرِّهِمُ يَهودٌ

أَباحَ حُسامُهُم حُسنَ القِرانِ

أَباحَ حُسامُهُم حُسنَ القِرانِ

Since Jews had become joined to their land,

I seek reward for my efforts against them

Their keen sword having sanctioned that fair union.

Whether young or helper in their misguidance

عَتادي أجرُ ما أولَيتُ فيهِم

عَتادي أجرُ ما أولَيتُ فيهِم

مِنَ الفَتَكاتِ بِكرٍ أَو عَوانِ

مِنَ الفَتَكاتِ بِكرٍ أَو عَوانِ

My provision is the reward for what I wrought among them:

Martyrdom in God's cause will suffice

Deadly assaults, maiden or renewed.

With paradise as its reward

وَحَسبي في سَبيلِ اللَه مَوتٌ

وَحَسبي في سَبيلِ اللَه مَوتٌ

يَكونُ ثَوابُهُ خُلدَ الجِنانِ

يَكونُ ثَوابُهُ خُلدَ الجِنانِ

And a death in God's path is enough for me,

Whose reward shall be eternity in the Gardens.
