1. Slow down, oh sons of our uncle, slow down, oh our dear ones
Do not dig up between us what has been buried
١. مَهلاً بَني عَمِّنا مَهلا مَوالينا
لا تَنبِشوا بَينَنا ما كانَ مَدفونا
2. Slow down, oh sons of our uncle, from carving up our statues
Walk slowly as you used to walk with us
٢. مَهلاً بَني عَمِّنا عَن نَحتِ أَثلَتِنا
سيروا رُوَيداً كَما كُنتُم تَسيرونا
3. Do not be greedy to humiliate us while we honor you
And that we restrain harm from you while you harm us
٣. لا تَطمَعوا أَن تُهينونا وَنُكرِمُكُم
وَأَن نَكُفَّ الأَذى عَنكُم وَتُؤذونا
4. God knows that we do not love you
And we do not blame you for not loving us
٤. اللَهُ يَعلَمُ أَنّا لا نُحِبُّكُمُ
وَلا نَلومُكُمُ أَلّا تُحِبّونا
5. Everyone has an intention in hating his companion
By God's grace we endure you and you endure us
٥. كُلٌّ لَهُ نِيَّةٌ في بُغضِ صاحِبِهِ
بِنِعمَةِ اللَهِ نَقليكُم وَتَقلونا
