مُستَشعِري حِلَقَ الماذِيِّ يَقدُمُهُم

مُستَشعِري حِلَقَ الماذِيِّ يَقدُمُهُم

جَلدُ النَحيزَةِ ماضٍ غَيرُ رِعديدِ

جَلدُ النَحيزَةِ ماضٍ غَيرُ رِعديدِ

Those clad in the rings of fine mail are led by

Those who sensed the Prophet's voice leading them,

One stout of nature, resolute, no trembling coward.

The brave whose lightning arrows never failed,

أَعني الرَسولَ فَإِنَّ اللَهَ فَضَّلَهُ

أَعني الرَسولَ فَإِنَّ اللَهَ فَضَّلَهُ

عَلى البَرِيَّةِ بِالتَقوى وَبِالجودِ

عَلى البَرِيَّةِ بِالتَقوى وَبِالجودِ

I mean the Messenger, for God has favored him

I mean the Prophet, for God favored him

Above all creation through piety and generosity.

Above all humans in piety and generosity,

وَقَد زَعَمتُم بِأَن تَحموا ذِمارَكُمُ

وَقَد زَعَمتُم بِأَن تَحموا ذِمارَكُمُ

وَماءُ بَدرٍ زَعَمتُم غَيرُ مَورودِ

وَماءُ بَدرٍ زَعَمتُم غَيرُ مَورودِ

And you had claimed that you would defend your honor,

You claimed you'd guard your desert at all costs,

And Badr's water, you claimed, would not be reached.

And that Badr's water could not be obtained,

ثُمَّ وَرَدنا وَلَم نُهدَد لِقَولِكُمُ

ثُمَّ وَرَدنا وَلَم نُهدَد لِقَولِكُمُ

حَتّى شَرِبنا رِواءً غَيرَ تَصريدِ

حَتّى شَرِبنا رِواءً غَيرَ تَصريدِ

Then we came to the water, undaunted by your words,

Yet we marched on, undeterred by your words,

Until we drank our fill, without stint.

Until we drank our fill with no resistance,

فينا الرَسولُ وَفينا الحَقُّ نَتبَعُهُ

فينا الرَسولُ وَفينا الحَقُّ نَتبَعُهُ

حَتّى المَماتِ وَنَصرٌ غَيرُ مَحدودِ

حَتّى المَماتِ وَنَصرٌ غَيرُ مَحدودِ

Among us is the Messenger, and among us the truth we follow

Among us is the Prophet and the Truth we follow,

Until death, and victory without bounds.

Till death, with endless triumph assured,

ماضٍ عَلى الهَولِ رِكّابٌ لِما قَطَعوا

ماضٍ عَلى الهَولِ رِكّابٌ لِما قَطَعوا

إِذا الكُماةُ تَحامَوا في الصَناديدِ

إِذا الكُماةُ تَحامَوا في الصَناديدِ

He presses on through terror, riding across what they have traversed,

Galloping fearlessly across the battlefield

When armored warriors hold back among the mighty champions.

When warriors clashed amidst the ravines,

وافٍ وَماضٍ شِهابٌ يُستَضاءُ بِهِ

وافٍ وَماضٍ شِهابٌ يُستَضاءُ بِهِ

بَدرٌ أَنارَ عَلى كُلِّ الأَماجيدِ

بَدرٌ أَنارَ عَلى كُلِّ الأَماجيدِ

Faithful and resolute, a blazing flame by whose light one sees,

Swift and relentless, a flame lighting the way,

A full moon that shone upon all the illustrious.

A full moon illuminating each mountain pass,

مُبارَكٌ كَضِياءِ البَدرِ صورَتُهُ

مُبارَكٌ كَضِياءِ البَدرِ صورَتُهُ

ما قالَ كانَ قَضاءً غَيرُ مَردودِ

ما قالَ كانَ قَضاءً غَيرُ مَردودِ

Blessed is he; his form is like the full moon's radiance.

Blessed, shining like the full moon is his face,

Whatever he said was an irrevocable decree.

His word was destiny, never to be undone,

مُستَعصِمينَ بِحَبلٍ غَيرِ مُنجَذِمٍ

مُستَعصِمينَ بِحَبلٍ غَيرِ مُنجَذِمٍ

مُستَحكِمٍ مِن حِبالِ اللَهِ مَمدودِ

مُستَحكِمٍ مِن حِبالِ اللَهِ مَمدودِ

Holding fast for protection to an unbroken rope,

Clinging to a rope from God that will not snap,

Firmly secured, outstretched from among God's ropes.

Secured by ropes from Allah, firmly anchored.
