1. فَدَامَ لَنَا يَحيَى حَيَاةً وَعِصمَةً

    وَبَارَكَ رَبِّي فِي حَيَاةِ مُبَارَكِ

    So may Yahya live on for us, our life and protection,

    and may my Lord bless Mubarak's life.

  2. فَكَم كَشَفَا مِن كُربةٍ بَعدَ كُربةٍ

    تَقُولُ لَهَا النِّيرَانُ كُفِّي أُوَارَاكِ

    For how often have they both dispelled distress after distress,

    to which the fires say, 'Curb your blaze!'

  3. وَكَم لَبَّيا من دَعوةٍ وَتَدَارَكَا

    شَفَا رَمَقٍ مَا كَانَ بِالمُتَدَارَكِ

    And how often have they both answered a plea and rescued

    a last remnant of life that was beyond saving.
