O my Master! For every blessing I praise You


O Bountiful One! For all you give I thank You


After disbelief and darkness You have favoured us.


Taken us out of Doubts, and Wrong's darkness.

Through Muhammad [SAW] You saved us and removed what is blameable
And made us assisted, guided and honourable,
You have named us the best of all nations,
So fulfil our intentions, Let the disbelievers taste,
Their punishment with all haste!

Who will inform Abû Bakr that we


Are fighting the Roman army


Allâh has prohibited except that I break the Disbelievers


And relieve my spear’s thirst with blood of Roman leaders.


Many victims will I fling to the ground


Many will weep at a friend no longer found

I swear by the Great King that I have taken this banner


And that by carrying it I am the leader,


Because I am the chief of Makhzûm’s son,


And also am amongst Noble Ahmad’s companions


In setting out, It is like a reckless lion that I behave,


O Allâh! It is fighting the Romans that I do crave

Woe to the hordes of Rome on the day of fighting,

Indeed I see war in it blazing,


How many times have they met from us occasions of exhaustion


How many times have I left the Romans in destruction
