وَإِنّا أُناسٌ تَعرِفُ الخَيلُ زَجرَنا

وَإِنّا أُناسٌ تَعرِفُ الخَيلُ زَجرَنا

إِذا مَطَرَت سُحبُ الصَوارِمِ بِالدَمِ

إِذا مَطَرَت سُحبُ الصَوارِمِ بِالدَمِ

And we are a people whose shouts the horses know,

And we are people whom horses know our battle cries

when the clouds of sharp swords rain blood.

When the clouds of arrows rain blood

وَإِنّا لَنُعطي النَصفَ مَن لَو نَضيمُهُ

وَإِنّا لَنُعطي النَصفَ مَن لَو نَضيمُهُ

أَقَرَّ وَنَأبى نَخوَةَ المُتَظَلِّمِ

أَقَرَّ وَنَأبى نَخوَةَ المُتَظَلِّمِ

And we surely grant fair treatment to one who, were we to wrong him,

And we give half to one whose grievance we would redress

would acquiesce; and we reject the haughtiness of one complaining of injustice.

Whether he concedes or spurns the nobility of the oppressed
