1. وافرحْ فما يُلقى لسدّك هادمٌ

    وامرحْ فما يُلفى لحدِّك ثالِمُ

    And rejoice, for none is found to demolish your bulwark.

    And be merry, for none is found to notch your edge.

  2. فإذا سخَوتُ فإن سيبكَ عارضٌ

    وإذا سطَوتَ فإنَّ سيفَك عارِمُ

    So when I give generously, your bounty is indeed a rain cloud.

    And when you strike, your sword is indeed fierce.

  3. فلِذاك تُخشى مِن قَناكَ مَطاعِنٌ

    وكذاك تُغشى من قِراك مَطاعِمُ

    Thus the thrusts of your spears are feared,

    And likewise, the feasts of your hospitality are sought out.
