1. The blame rests lightly on the people
Son of the knight’s daughter
١. عَلَّلِ القَومَ قَليلاً
يا اِبنَ بِنتِ الفارِسِيَّه
2. Sing to them you and good tidings
And the son of the lowly’s daughter
٢. غَنِّهِم أَنتَ وَبِشرٌ
وَاِبنُ بِنتِ الهُذَلِيَّه
3. Truly they have fought today
A barren fruitless fight
٣. إِنَّهُم قَد عاقَروا اليَو
مَ عُقاراً مَقَدِيَّه
4. We have musk and fragrance
And mandalwood and myrrh
٤. عِندَنا مِسكٌ وَرَيحا
نٌ وَعودُ المَندَلِيَّه
