أَيا سَيِّدَي نَجرانَ لا أوصِيَنكُما

أَيا سَيِّدَي نَجرانَ لا أوصِيَنكُما

بِنَجرانَ فيما نابَها وَاِعتَراكُما

بِنَجرانَ فيما نابَها وَاِعتَراكُما

O two lords of Najran, I need not counsel you both

O my lords of Najran, I do not advise you

concerning Najran, amid what has befallen her and beset you both.

Regarding Najran in what has afflicted it and tried you

فَإِن تَفعَلا خَيراً وَتَرتَدِيا بِهِ

فَإِن تَفعَلا خَيراً وَتَرتَدِيا بِهِ

فَإِنَّكُما أَهلٌ لِذاكَ كِلاكُما

فَإِنَّكُما أَهلٌ لِذاكَ كِلاكُما

For if you both do good and clothe yourselves in it,

For if you do good and don it

then you are indeed worthy of that, both of you.

Then you are worthy of that, both of you

وَإِن تَكفِيا نَجرانَ أَمرَ عَظيمَةٍ

وَإِن تَكفِيا نَجرانَ أَمرَ عَظيمَةٍ

فَقَبلَكُما ما سادَها أَبَواكُما

فَقَبلَكُما ما سادَها أَبَواكُما

And if you both spare Najran the ordeal of a great calamity,

And if you suffice Najran the matter of a great woman

for before you both, your two fathers indeed ruled her.

Then before you what your fathers have ruled

وَإِن أَجلَبَت صِهيَونُ يَوماً عَلَيكُما

وَإِن أَجلَبَت صِهيَونُ يَوماً عَلَيكُما

فَإِنَّ رَحى الحَربِ الدَكوكِ رِحاكُما

فَإِنَّ رَحى الحَربِ الدَكوكِ رِحاكُما

And if Zion one day musters its forces against you both,

And if Zion brings upon you one day

then the millstone of crushing war is your millstone.

Then surely the millstones of grueling war will grind you
