أهل الحميةِ والحميةُ أنتمو

لا تفعلوا فعلاً يلوثه الدمُ

O people of protection, you are protection

Do not do an act dirtied by blood

هيهاتَ للعربِ الكرامِ برشدِهِم

أَن يستبيحوا ما يهون ويُذمَمُ

Alas! The honorable Arabs in their wisdom

Would not legitimize what is disgraceful and harmful

الخائفون اللاجئون إليكمو

زحفت عليهم في الجنانِ جهنمُ

The fearful refugees have come to you

Hell has crawled unto them in the gardens

وفدوا عليكم تحت راية حُبِّهم

وولائهم متبتلين وَأحرمُوا

They have come to you under the banner of their love

And their loyalty, suffering and deprived

جعلوا بكم آمالهم وتطلعوا

لحنانكم من بَعدِ ما قد أعَدمُوا

They have made their hopes in you and aspired

For your tenderness after they had lost hope

وتسابقوا ليدّعموا لفخاركم

مُلكاً ولو فيه الأشُّم المدعَمُ

And they raced to strengthen your pride

A kingdom even if in it lies the supported despot

أيقالُ أنتم خاذلوهم بعدَما

أنسوا إليكم صادقين وأسلموا

Is it said you have betrayed them after

They sincerely trusted in you and surrendered?

أيقالث قد أخَذ البرئُ بظلكِّم

ظُلماً بما صنعَ الخبيثُ المجرمُ

Is it said the innocent took your

Injustice by what the wicked criminal did?

ما هذهِ شيمُ العروبةِ بل نرى

شيمَ العروبةَ كُلَّها يُستلهمُ

This is not the traits of Arabism, but we see

The traits of Arabism all being derived

إن يجزع الاردن فهو بحزنه

مرآةُ أحزانٍ طفحنَ تُعمَّمُ

If Jordan grieves, it is in its sorrow

A mirror of aggregated sorrows overflowing

والحزنُ بالصبر الجميل مقامُه

أسمى من الحزن الذي يتجهَّمُ

And grief, its stance is with beautiful patience

Lofiter than the grief which frowns

شَقيت فلسطينُ العزيزةُ حقبةً

وبكلِّ جُرحٍ غائرٍ منها فَمُ

Palestine, the precious, has suffered an era

And with every deep wound in it, a mouth

لا ترجموَها من جريرةِ مُذنبٍ

والمحسنون جموعُها لم يأثموا

Do not translate it from the sin of a sinner

And its benefactors, their masses did no wrong

جَادُوا بلا من بكلِّ يتيمةٍ

في الفكرِ حين تعَّذبوا وتيتموا

They gave without anyone urging any orphan

In thought when they were tortured and orphaned

جادوا بما غَذَّى القلوب نبيلةً

وَهُمُ الجياعُ ونُبلهم لا يُهزمَ

They gave what nourished noble hearts

While they are the hungry, their nobility undefeated

سَكنوا العراءَ مع الصخور فروِّعَت

خجلاً وأشفقت الصخورُ عليهمو

They inhabited the bareness with rocks so

The rocks were shy and had mercy on them

هم بِضعةٌ منا فإن لم نَحمهم

فالعارُ يومَ مصابهم أن يرجَموا

They are some of us so if we do not protect them

Then the shame, the day of their affliction, they get stoned
