1. We are a people who bow to no oppressor,
No tyranny over us do we allow or accept.

2. We inherited glory in high places, so our pride
Is great, and none but the fearless do we protect.

3. From fathers of old we inherited when honored
Pages that sing without need of ornate scripts.

4. Our swords and our spears give us leadership
If not the banners of flimsy caliphs.

5. With tongues for tools we built a Kaaba
Around which reluctant kings made their circles.

6. Let those who wish tremble, let those who wish bend,
For we lose nothing if they come at us falsely.

7. And soon we will reward the people of Mecca
And serve the horses of ill-repute their toxic drafts.
