1. وحين رأى كُماة ستين أن ال

    عدو على بلاد السرب كّرا

    And when the warriors of Cetinje saw that the

    enemy had charged against the land of the Serbs,

  2. اجابوا قبل أن يدعوا وهبوا

    وفاءً بالعهود لها وبرا

    they answered before they were summoned, and sprang up,

    to honor their pledges to her and show kindness.

  3. وصاحوا يا لثأر السرب اكبر

    به ممن عليها جار ثأرا

    And they cried, 'O for vengeance for the Serbs! How great

    a vengeance it is upon whoever wronged her!'

  4. وكروا مع حليفتهم أسوداً

    ترجُّ الارض زمجرةً وزأرا

    And they charged with their ally, like lions,

    shaking the earth with growls and roars.

  5. وبنت الشمس قامت تقتفي في

    اقاصي الشرق للحلفاء إثرا

    And the daughter of the sun rose to follow, in

    the far reaches of the East, the Allies' trail.

  6. وللالمان جاحت من كيوشو

    وعقد وجودهم نثرته نثرا

    And from Kyushu she ravaged the Germans,

    and scattered the necklace of their presence utterly.

  7. كذا حمي الوطيس وعم ضنك ال

    كريهة واستحال اليسر عسرا

    Thus battle's furnace grew hot, and everywhere spread the anguish of the

    war, and ease turned to hardship.

  8. وغول الحرب أودى بالملايين

    من قتلى ومن جرحى وأسرى

    And the ghoul of war brought ruin to millions—

    the slain, the wounded, and the captives.
