فَلا تَيأسا من رَحمَةِ اللَهِ وَاِنظُرا

فَلا تَيأسا من رَحمَةِ اللَهِ وَاِنظُرا

بِوادي جَبونا أَن تَهُبَّ شَمالُ

بِوادي جَبونا أَن تَهُبَّ شَمالُ

So do not despair of God's mercy, you two, and wait

Do not despair of the mercy of Allah, and look

Do not despair of the mercy of God, but look,

In the valley of Jabuna for a north wind to blow.

In the valley of Jubna for the north wind to blow

In the valley of Jabuna, for the north wind to blow.

وَلا تَيأَسا أَن تُرزَقا أَرحَبِيَّةً

وَلا تَيأَسا أَن تُرزَقا أَرحَبِيَّةً

كَعَينِ المَها أَعناقُهُنَّ طِوالُ

كَعَينِ المَها أَعناقُهُنَّ طِوالُ

And do not despair of being granted Arhabi she-camels,

Do not despair of being granted a spacious livelihood

And do not despair that you be granted a swift Arhabi mount,

Like the wide-eyed oryx, their necks long,

Like the eyes of ostriches, their necks are long

With eyes like the oryx, and necks graceful and long.

مِنَ الحارِثِيينَ الَّذينَ دِماؤُهُم

مِنَ الحارِثِيينَ الَّذينَ دِماؤُهُم

حَرامٌ وَأَمّا مالُهُم فَحَلالُ

حَرامٌ وَأَمّا مالُهُم فَحَلالُ

From the Harithis, whose blood

From the Harithis whose blood

From the Harithites, those men whose blood

Is forbidden to shed; but their wealth is lawful to take.

Is unlawful, but their wealth is lawful

Is forbidden to shed, yet whose wealth is lawful to take.
