1. Tomorrow our unhappiness will cease and go away
It will help us in our confusion and relief
١. غدا غَيْرَ مُسْعِدِنا ثُمَّ رَاحَا
يُسَاعِدُنَا طَرَباً وارْتِياحا
2. He was given a choice, so he chose the faith of darkness
He is determined, he cannot see the light of dawn
٢. وخُيِّرَ فاختارَ دِينَ الغَبُوقِ
ولَجَّ فليسَ يَرى الإِصْطِباحا
3. If he senses the morning, he sleeps and withholds
If he senses the night, he sleeps and rants
٣. فإِنْ آنَسَ الصُّبحَ نامَ وشَحَّ
وإِنْ آنَسَ الليلَ نَمَّ وفاحا
4. Just as God gave His servant Al-Mali
A choice, so he chose comfort and lenience
٤. كما خَيَّرَ اللهُ عَبْدَ المَلِي
كِ فاخْتارَ فِي رَاحَتَيْهِ السَّمَاحا
5. And the horses, the men with spears
And the weapons of men, the arms
٥. وفي صَهَوَاتِ الخُيُولِ الرِّجَالَ
ومِنْ أدوَاتِ الرِّجَالِ السِّلاحا
6. So it showered those near with dew, and those far
And the swords poured blood, and the spears
٦. فَعَمَّ القريبَ نَدىً والبَعيدَ
ورَوَّى السُّيوفَ دَماً والرِّماحا
