إِذًا فَلْيَتَحَمَّلُوا النَّتِيجَةَ مَعَهُ

So let them bear the consequences with him

مَنْ يَتَحَدَّى عَرْشَ الْفِرِنْجَةِ لَا يَنَامُ آمِنًا

Whoever challenges the throne of the Franks does not sleep safely

أُرِيدُ أَفْصَحَ الرُّسُلِ لِسَانًا وَأَقْوَاهُمْ خِطَابًا

I want the most eloquent of messengers in speech and the strongest in discourse

حَاضِرٌ سَيِّدِي

Understood, my master

سَتَكُونُ الْوَالِيَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْوِلَايَةِ

You will be the governor of this province

أَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي وَلَكِنْ

Me, my master? But...

نَعَمْ أَنْتَ، وَلَا أَحَدَ غَيْرُكَ، أَرَى فِيكَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَالْمَقْدِرَةَ

Yes, you, and no one else; I see in you wisdom and capability

حَسَنًا يَا سَيِّدِي، أَسْأَلُ اللهَ أَنْ أَكُونَ عِنْدَ حُسْنِ ظَنِّكُمْ

Very well, my master, I ask God that I may live up to your expectations

وَأَنْ يُعِينَنِي عَلَى هَذِهِ الْأَمَانَةِ الثَّقِيلَةِ

And that He may help me with this heavy responsibility

جَهِّزُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ يَا أَبْنَائِي فَالْقَادِمُ كَبِيرٌ كَبِيرٌ جِدًّا

Prepare yourselves, my sons, for what is coming is great, very great
