1. ليسَ بين الأنصارِ في جحمَةِ الحَر

    بِ وبينَ العُداةِ إلا الطِّعانُ

    There is nothing between the Ansar, in the blaze of war,

    and the foes but spear-thrusts,

  2. وقِراعُ الكُماةِ بالقُضُب البِي

    ضِ إذا ما تحطَّمَ المُرَّانُ

    and the clash of armored warriors with white blades,

    when the ash-wood spears shatter.

  3. فادعُها تستجب فليسَ من الخز

    رجِ والأوسِ يا عليُّ جَبانُ

    So summon them; they will answer, for no man among the Khazraj

    and the Aws, O Ali, is a coward.

  4. يا وصيَّ النبيِّ قد أجلتِ الحر

    بُ الأعادي وسارَتِ الأَظعانُ

    O appointed successor of the Prophet, war has driven away

    the foes, and the camel litters have set out.

  5. واستقامتَ لكَ الأمورُ سِوى الشا

    مِ وفي الشامِ يظَهرُ الإذعانُ

    And affairs have fallen into order for you, save al-Sham;

    and in al-Sham, submission shows itself.

  6. حسبُهُم ما رأَوا وحسبُكَ مِنّا هكذا

    نحنُ حيثُ كُنَّا وكانُوا

    What they have seen suffices them, and this from us suffices you:

    We are where we were, and where they were.
