أَيُّها الساعي عَلى آثارِنا

أَيُّها الساعي عَلى آثارِنا

نَحنُ مَن لَستَ بِسَعّاءٍ مَعَه

نَحنُ مَن لَستَ بِسَعّاءٍ مَعَه

O you who follow in our tracks,

O you who follow in our footsteps

We are those with whom you cannot keep pace.

We are not with you when the bows collide

نَحنُ أَودٌ حينَ تَصطَكُّ القَنا

نَحنُ أَودٌ حينَ تَصطَكُّ القَنا

وَالعَوالي لِلعَوالي مُشرَعَه

وَالعَوالي لِلعَوالي مُشرَعَه

We are Awd when the spears clash,

And the highlands have opened their heights

And spearheads are leveled against spearheads,

On the day when the white swords shine bright

يَومَ تُبدي البيضُ عَن لَمعِ البُرى

يَومَ تُبدي البيضُ عَن لَمعِ البُرى

وَلِأَهلِ الدارِ فيها صَعصَعَه

وَلِأَهلِ الدارِ فيها صَعصَعَه

On the day fair-skinned women reveal their gleaming anklets,

And for the people of the house discord stirs

And the people of the dwelling are in turmoil there.

Then in us is a fire seen for the villages

ثُمَّ فينا لِلقِرى نارٌ يُرى

ثُمَّ فينا لِلقِرى نارٌ يُرى

عِندَها لِلضَيفِ رُحبٌ وَسِعَه

عِندَها لِلضَيفِ رُحبٌ وَسِعَه

Then among us burns a fire for hospitality; one sees

Where for the guest are breadth and welcome

Beside it, welcome and plenty for the guest.
