I have no fear of Na'aman the gazelle hunter

ولي بالخيف من نعمان ظبي

1. I have no fear of Na'aman the gazelle hunter
Who wounds my heart however he may contrive

١. ولي بالخَيفِ من نَعمانَ ظبيٌ
يحيفُ على فؤادي أيّ حَيْفِ

2. So much has he pierced my heart and brow
With his spears and sword from his quiver

٢. فكم من معطِفَيْه ومقلتَيْهِ
بقلبي منه من رمحٍ وسيفِ

3. I've hated him, loathing his affection
As generosity loathes the nature of Ibn 'Auf

٣. علقت به نَفوراً عن وِدادي
نفورَ الجودِ من طبعِ ابنِ عوفِ

4. I wish for his comfort as one who wishes
For the driving away of gadflies in summer's heat

٤. فراجي راحتَيْه كمن يرجّي
هُمولَ الوَدْقِ عند جَهامِ صيفِ

5. Were it not for the salafist protector among us
We would not feel safe from any fear

٥. ولولا الحافظُ السّلفيُّ فينا
لما كنّا أمنّا كلَّ خوفِ

6. A leader, if we ask him for greatness
Refuses to put us off with 'later'

٦. إمامٌ إن سألناهُ عظيماً
تأبّى أن يماطِلَنا بسَوفِ

7. The Nauruz has come, so delight in it
With honor intact, free from blemish or fraud

٧. أتى النّوروز فاهْنَ به سعيداً
سليمَ العِرض من نقصٍ وزَيفِ
