The covenant with your father is not forgotten,

مارث لا وأبيك عهد زنادي

1. The covenant with your father is not forgotten,
Rather, my determination to avenge you and your father remains resolute.

١. مارَثَّ لا وأَبيكَ عَهْدُ زِنادِي
بَلْ عَزَّ عَنْكَ وعَنْ أَبيكَ عَزائي

2. I shed tears upon tears, though the grieving one
Is not inclined to draw out sorrow with weeping.

٢. أُجْرِي الدُّموعَ على الدُّموعٍ وذو الأسى
مَنْ طالبَ العَبَراتِ بالإبطاءِ

3. If my tears do not shed my blood,
Then behind the shooting stars of tears is the burning ember of blood.

٣. إنْ كانَ دَمْعُ العَيْنِ لَمْ يبلُغْ دَمِي
فَوَراءَ شُهْبِ الدَمْعَ جِمْرُ دِماءِ

4. Ahmad did not hoard his wealth from a beggar,
So he could hoard the water in his eyelids.

٤. ماصانَ أحمدُ مالَهُ عَنْ سَائلٍ
فَيَصُونُ مافي جَفْنِه مِن ماءِ

5. Often the generosity of the son of Musa with the white hand
Made clear the darkness of requests.

٥. ولَطَالَما جَلِّى سَوادَ مَطالبِ
جُوْدُ ابنِ مُوسى ذِي اليَدِ البيضاءِ

6. And how often he refused in generosity a purpose which had occurred
To him, and folded away the talk of the lost.

٦. وَلكَمْ أَبى في الجُودِ معنىً قد شأَى
مَعْناً بهِ وطَوى حَديثَ الطَّائي
