A victory at which Heaven threw wide its gates,
which Earth put on new dress to celebrate:
O battle of Amorium, from which
our hopes returned engorged with milk and honey,
The Muslims hast thou fixed in the ascendant,
pagans and pagandom fixed in decline!

A victory in honour of which the gates of heaven open and earth comes forth in her new garments. O day of the battle of 'Ammūriya, (our) hopes have returned from you overflowing with honey-sweet milk; You have left the fortunes of the sons of Islam in the ascendant, and the polytheists and the abode of polytheism in decline. | A. J. Arberry, Arabic Poetry: A Primer for Students (Cambridge UP, 1965) p. 52
