وكم رامَ مجدَك من حاسدٍ

وكم رامَ مجدَك من حاسدٍ

فجُرِّدَ من حُلّةِ السّالِمِ

فجُرِّدَ من حُلّةِ السّالِمِ

And how many an envier has sought your glory,

How many a jealous foe has sought your glory

Only to be stripped of the robe of safety,

And been stripped of the garb of well-being

كذئبِ النُميرَةِ لما أتى

كذئبِ النُميرَةِ لما أتى

يحاول قتل أبي عارمِ

يحاول قتل أبي عارمِ

Like the wolf of al-Numayrah when it came

Like the wolf of al-Numayrah when he came

Seeking to kill Abū ʿĀrim.

Trying to kill my father, Abu 'Arim
