1. إنْ راعَكَ الخَصمُ الحَقودُ بصَوْلَةٍ

    في مَعْرَكٍ قَطَرَتْ به سُحْبُ الدِّما

    If the spiteful foe frightens you with an onslaught,

    in a battle where clouds of blood have rained down,

  2. وَطِّدْ فُؤادَكَ لا تُراعُ بمَعْرَكٍ

    إنْ قلتَ يا شَيْخاهُ يا حامِي الحِمى

    Strengthen your heart; you will not be frightened in battle

    if you say, “O my shaykh! O protector of the sanctuary!”

  3. ربُّ اليدِ البَيْضاءِ أَحمدُ مَنْ غَدا

    في الأَرضِ محمودَ المَناقِبِ والسَّما

    Ahmad, master of the white hand, who has become

    praised for his virtues on earth and in heaven.
