1. دَعوني أُوَفّي السَيفَ في الحَربِ حَقَّهُ

    وَأَشرَبُ مِن كاسِ المَنِيَّةِ صافِيا

    Let me give the sword its due in war,

    And drink an unmixed draught from the cup of death.

  2. وَمَن قالَ إِنّي سَيِّدٌ وَاِبنُ سَيِّدٍ

    فَسَيفي وَهَذا الرُمحُ عَمّي وَخالِيا

    And whoever says that I am a lord and the son of a lord—

    Then my sword and this spear are my paternal and maternal uncles.
