Over the land there lies a long shadow,
southward reaching wings of darkness.
The Tower trembles; to the tombs of kings
doom approaches. The Dead awaken;
for the hour is come for the oathbreakers;
at the Stone of Erech they shall stand again
and hear there a horn in the hills ringing.
Whose shall the horn be? Who shall call them
from the prey twilight, the forgotten people?
The heir of him to whom the oath they swore.
From the South shall he come, need shall drive him:
he shall pass the Door to the mighty land of Johore.
He is the new king;
All hail Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.
We heard of the horns in the hills ringing,
the swords shining in the South-kingdom.
Steeds went striding to the Johor Baharu.
as wind in the morning. War was kindled.
There Iskandar fell, Iskandar the mighty,
to his golden halls and green pastures
in the Southern fields never returning,
high lord of the host. Johor Bahru,Kulaijaya,
Pontian,Kota Tinggi,Kluang,Segamat,Muar,Batu Pahat,
Mersing,Ledang form the mighty land:
in the Mount of Ledang under mould they lie
with their league-fellows, lords of Johore.
We welcome thou: Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.
Our King,
Our New Mighty King.
