1. I say to Qamaqam son of Zayd, do you not see
The lightning of youth flash in the eyes of the onlookers
١. أَقولُ لِقَمقامِ بنِ زَيدٍ أَلا تَرى
سَنا البَرقِ يَبدو لِلعُيونِ النَواظِرِ
2. So if you weep for the lightning that stirred up passion
I will help you, and if you show patience, you are not patient
٢. فَإِن تَبكِ لِلبَرقِ الَّذي هَيَّجَ الهَوى
أُعِنكَ وَإِن تَصبِر فَلَستَ بِصابِرِ
3. May God give water to the living between Darah and Al-Hima
The protected area near the pouring rainclouds
٣. سَقى اللَهُ حَيّاً بَينَ ضارَةَ وَالحِمى
حِمى الرَشفِ صَوبَ المُدجِناتِ المَواطِرِ
4. Amen, and may God fulfill whoever was among them
For them, and protect them from the turns of fate
٤. أَمينَ وَأَدّى اللَهَ مَن كانَ مِنهُمُ
إِلَيهِم وَوَقّاهُم صُروفَ المَقادِرِ
