لاnot أبتغيI seek عنهمin their stead ولاnor أُشريهمI trade them away
لا أبتغي عنهم ولا أُشريهم
حتىuntil يُلاقينيmeets me حمامُthe appointed doom of مماتيmy death
حتى يُلاقيني حمامُ مماتي
I seek no substitute for them, nor would I barter them away,
I seek none in their place, nor would I trade them away,
until the doom of my death comes to meet me.
until my appointed death comes to meet me.

فيما ينوبُ القومَ لا باللاتِ
They are neither ignoble men nor a motley rabble
They are neither base men nor a motley rabble
when calamity befalls the tribe—no, by al-Lāt!
in what befalls the people—no, by al-Lat!
