منَ القوم الذينَ إذا استُمدّوا

منَ القوم الذينَ إذا استُمدّوا

ندىً فضحوا الخضمَّ المُسْتَمدّا

ندىً فضحوا الخضمَّ المُسْتَمدّا

Of those people who, when asked

Among the people are those who when asked

for bounty, put the vast ocean drawn upon to shame.

For help, they expose the one asking.

فلا ودّوا لرأس العزِّ شَجّاً

فلا ودّوا لرأس العزِّ شَجّاً

ولا شَجّوا بدارِ الهُونِ وُدّا

ولا شَجّوا بدارِ الهُونِ وُدّا

So they wish no wound upon the head of glory,

They have no love for the glorious leader

nor mingle affection with the abode of humiliation.

Nor affection for the abode of disgrace.
