1. جَزى اللَهُ ما أَدَّيتُما مِن حُقوقِهِ

    وَأَبلَيتُما مِن دونِ تِلكَ المَحارِمِ

    May God reward you both for the duties you fulfilled toward Him,

    and for your valor in defense of those sanctities.

  2. جِهادٌ لَهُ في ساحَةِ المَجدِ وَالعُلا

    مَواقِفُ تَبقى واضِحاتِ المَعالِمِ

    A struggle in the arena of glory and high renown,

    whose deeds endure, their landmarks clear.

  3. يَمُدُّ إِلَيها البَيتُ كَفَّ مُسَلِّمٍ

    وَيُبدي لَها المُختارُ صَفحَةَ باسِمِ

    The House extends a hand toward them in greeting,

    and the Chosen One shows them a smiling face.

  4. مَناسِكُ قامَ الدينُ في جَنَباتِها

    يُحَيّي فَريقَ اللَهِ مِن كُلِّ قائِمِ

    Sacred sites, in whose precincts Religion stood,

    saluting God's company through all who stand.

  5. وَطافَ بِها جِبريلُ يَحمي عِراصَها

    وَيَطلُعُ في آثارِها بِالمَراحِمِ

    And Gabriel circled them, guarding their open grounds,

    and appears in their wake bearing mercy.

  6. يَجُسُّ الكُلومَ الدامِياتِ وَيَنثَني

    يُقَلِّبُ في آثارِها عَينَ واجِمِ

    He feels the bleeding wounds, then turns back,

    casting a grief-stricken eye over their traces.

  7. إِذا غَفَلَ الآسي فَلَيسَ بِغافِلٍ

    وَإِن نامَتِ الجَرحى فَلَيسَ بِنائِمِ

    If the healer grows heedless, he is not heedless,

    and if the wounded sleep, he does not sleep.

  8. عِنايَةُ رَبٍّ لا يُغادِرُ حِزبَهُ

    غَنيمَةَ باغٍ أَو فَريسَةَ ظالِمِ

    The care of a Lord who never abandons His company

    as plunder for an aggressor or prey for an oppressor.

  9. وَلَبَّيتُماهُ إِذا دَعا وَاِستَبَقتُما

    سَبيلَيهِ لا يَثنيكُما لَومُ لائِمِ

    And you both answered Him when He called, and raced

    along His two paths, undeterred by any faultfinder's reproach.

  10. وَجَشَّمتُما نَفسَيكُما كُلَّ فادِحٍ

    مِنَ الأَمرِ يودي هَولُهُ بِالعَزائِمِ

    And you both made yourselves endure every crushing

    ordeal whose terror shatters resolve.

  11. فَما نَعَمَت نَفسُ اِمرِئٍ ما نَعِمتُما

    وَلا غَنِمَت ما نِلتُما مِن مُغانِمِ

    So no man's soul has known such bliss as you both,

    nor reaped such gains as you both have won.

  12. تَزَوَّدتُما حُسنَ الثَوابِ وَفُزتُما

    بِحَمدٍ عَلى مَرِّ العَشِيّاتِ دائِمِ

    You both have taken fine reward as provision, and won

    praise enduring through the passing evenings.

  13. فَهُنِّئتُما ذُخرَيكُما وَبَقيتُما

    لِدَفعِ العَوادي وَاِقتِحامِ العَظائِمِ

    So congratulations to you both on your two treasures; may you live on

    to repel calamities and brave mighty ordeals.
