Let the sons of Abbas give thanks for a renewed blessing;

Let the Abbasids thank renewed blessings,

for God has promised more in return for gratitude.

لقد جنّبتكُم أسرةٌ حسدتكُم

لقد جنّبتكُم أسرةٌ حسدتكُم

فسلَت على الإسلامِ سيفاً من الكفر

فسلَت على الإسلامِ سيفاً من الكفر

You have indeed been spared a clan that envied you

A jealous clan has spared you,

and drew against Islam a sword of unbelief.

Unleashing on Islam a sword of unbelief.

وقد نغّصتهم جولةٌ بعد جولةٍ

وقد نغّصتهم جولةٌ بعد جولةٍ

يبيتون فيها المسلمينَ على ذعرِ

يبيتون فيها المسلمينَ على ذعرِ

And bout after bout of fighting has embittered them;

Campaign after campaign has embittered them,

during which they make the Muslims spend the night in terror.

As they spend the night striking terror into Muslims.
