1. لا تُنكِرَنَّ قُرَيشٌ فَضلَ صاحِبَنا

    سَعدٍ وَما في مَقالي اليَومَ مِن أَوَدِ

    Let Quraysh never deny the merit of our companion,

    Sa'd—and there is no crookedness in my words today.

  2. قالَت قُرَيشٌ لَنا السُلطانُ دونَكُمُ

    لا تَطمَعُنَّ بِهَذا الأَمرِ مِن أَحَدِ

    Quraysh said to us, "Rule is not for you;

    Do not hope for this authority from anyone."

  3. قُلنا لَهُم ثَوِّروا حَقّاً فَنَتبَعُهُ

    لَسنا نُريدُ سِواهُ آخِرَ الأَبَدِ

    We told them, "Bring forth a rightful claim, and we shall follow it;

    We desire nothing else, to eternity's end.

  4. إِن كانَ عِندَكُمُ عَهدٌ فَيَظهَرُ في

    أَشياخِ بَدرٍ وَأَهلِ الشِعبِ مِن أُحُدِ

    If you have a covenant, it will become evident among

    The elders of Badr and the people of the ravine at Uhud.

  5. نَحنُ الَذينَ ضَرَبنا الناسَ عَن عُرُضٍ

    حَتّى اِستَقاموا وَكانوا بَيضَةَ البَلَدِ

    We are those who struck the people indiscriminately,

    Until they became upright and formed the town's core.

  6. في كُلِّ يَومٍ لَنا أَمرٌ نَفوزُ بِهِ

    يُعطي الإِلَهُ عَلَيهِ جَنَّةَ الخُلدِ

    Each day we have an undertaking through which we triumph,

    For which God grants the Garden of Eternity.

  7. لَستُم بِأَولى بِهِ مِنّا لَأَنَّ لَنا

    وَسطَ المَدينَةِ فَضلَ العِزِّ وَالعَدَدِ

    You have no greater right to it than we do, because we have

    Preeminence in might and numbers in the midst of Medina,

  8. وَأَنَّنا يَومَ بِعنا اللَهَ أَنفُسَنا

    لَم نُبدِ خَوفاً عَلى مالٍ وَلا وَلَدِ

    And because, on the day we sold ourselves to God,

    We showed no fear for wealth or children,

  9. وَالناسُ حَربٌ لَنا في اللَهِ كُلُّهُمُ

    مِثلُ الثَعالِبِ تَغشى غابَةَ الأَسَدِ

    While all the people were at war with us on God's account,

    Like foxes entering the lion's thicket."
