1. Oh daughters of Ziyad do not cease to die
And I will meet every frown I have lived with a smile
١. فَلَيتَ زِياداً لا يَزَلنَ بَناتُهُ
يَمُتنَ وَأَلقى كُلَّ ما عِشتُ عابِسا
2. For that is a day when misfortune turned from me
And in it I succeeded after having despaired
٢. فَذَلِكَ يَومٌ غابَ عَنِّيَ نَحسُهُ
وَأَنجَحتُ فيهِ بَعدَ ما كُنتُ آيِسا
