1. أَيا أَهلَ فَوزٍ أَلا تَسمَعونَ

    أَلا تَنظُرونَ إِلى ما لَقينا

    O people of Fawz, will you not listen?

    Will you not look at what we have endured?

  2. أَلا تَعجَبونَ لِفَوزِ المُني

    تَميلُ وَتُصغي إِلى الكاشِحينا

    Will you not marvel at Fawz, my heart's desire,

    As she turns and lends an ear to the spiteful?

  3. وَلَو شِئتُ مِلتُ إِلى غَيرِها

    إِلى مَن يَكونُ بِوُدّي ضَنينا

    And had I wished, I could have turned to another,

    To one who would jealously cherish my love.

  4. وَلَكِنَّني كُنتُ عاهَدتُها

    عَلى أَن أَدومَ وأَن لا أَخونا

    But I had pledged to her

    To remain constant and never betray her.

  5. فَقَد عَجِبَ الناسُ مِن أَمرِنا

    وَأَنساهُمُ قِصَصَ الأَوَّلينا

    For people have indeed marveled at our affair,

    And it has made them forget the tales of those of old.

  6. وَصِرنا حَديثاً لِمَن بَعدَنا

    تُحَدِّثُ عَنّا القُرونُ القُرونا

    And we have become a tale for those who come after us;

    Generations will tell generations about us.
