نَحنُ الكِرامُ بَنو الكِرا

نَحنُ الكِرامُ بَنو الكِرا

مِ وَطِفلُنا في المَهدِ يُكَنى

مِ وَطِفلُنا في المَهدِ يُكَنى

We are the noble, sons of the noble;

We are the generous, children of generosity

We are the noble, sons of the noble,

and our child is given an honorific name in the cradle.

And our babe in the cradle is titled

And our child in the cradle bears a title.

إِنّا إِذا قَعَدَ اللِئ

إِنّا إِذا قَعَدَ اللِئ

مُ عَلى بِساطِ العِزِّ قُمنا

مُ عَلى بِساطِ العِزِّ قُمنا

Indeed, when the ignoble sit

Verily, when the vile man sits

Indeed, if the ignoble take a seat

upon the carpet of honor, we rise.

On the carpet of honor, we stand

Upon the carpet of glory, we rise.
