O you who excels in glory and in greatness

يا من تفرد في مجد وفي عظم

1. O you who excels in glory and in greatness
O you enveloped in clouds, o you who rose high in the winter

١. يا مَن تَفَرَّدَ في مَجدٍ وفي عِظَمٍ
ياراكِمَ الغَيمِ يا مَن في الرَّقيعِ عَلا

2. The sun is not eclipsed and the darkness follows it
Until with our swords we attain hope

٢. لا تُحجَبِ الشَّمسُ والظَّلماءُ تَعقُبُها
حتى بِفريامَ نصراً نبلُغُ الأَمَلا

3. I yearn for the palace which he built and I see the
Flames devouring its doors, enduring

٣. اَدُكُّ شائِقَ قَصرٍ شادَهُ وأَرى ال
لَّهيبَ يَلتَهِمُ الأَبوَابَ مُحتَملا

4. And the coat of mail of the mighty one I tear it
With my chest and make the people taste the evil without sweetener

٤. ودِرعَ ذِي البَطشِ هَكطورٍ أُمَزِّقُها
بِصَدرهِ ونُذِيقُ القَومَ شَرَّ بَلا

5. And around him young men pouncing down
So they bruise the soil from his companions, the arrows

٥. وَحولَهُ فِتيةٌ تَنقَضُّ ساقطةً
فَتكدُمُ التُّربَ من أصحابهِ النُّبَلا

6. But he is the son of generations that did not attain hope
He sheltered the victims but the work weighed heavy

٦. لكنَّما ابنُ قُرُونٍ لم يَصِل أَملاً
آوى الضَّحِيَّةَ لَكن أَثقلَ العَمَلا

7. Rather, he increased their ordeal and they did not know
They prayed and left the raising grain

٧. بَل زادَ مِحنتَهُم وَيلاً وما عَرَفوا
دَعَوا وذَرُّوا الشَّعِيرَ الرَّافِعَ القُبَلا

8. And the slaughterer slaughtered above his head and thus
After skinning him, cut off his thighs

٨. والذَّابِحُ الذِّبحَ أَعلى رَأسَهُ وكَذا
مِن بَعدِ تَجرِيدِهِ أَفخاذَهُ عَزَلا

9. He covered its edges with fat and followed it
Scorching blood from above it and it melted

٩. بالشَّحمِ غَشَّى حَواشِيها وأَتبَعَهَا ال
أَحتساءَ دامِيةً من فَوقِها وَشَلا

10. And they ignited the cut up firewood
Its blaze with kindling flames ignited

١٠. وأَضرَمُوا النَّارَ خُشباناً مُقَطَّعةً
سَعِيرُها بِسَفافِيدِ الحَشَا اشَتَعَلا

11. Until the thighs melted and they shared
The rest of the meat that remained

١١. حتَّى إِذا ذَابَتِ الأَفخاذُ واجتعَلُوا
باقي الحَشا اقتسَمُوا اللَّحمَ الذي فَضَلا

12. Then they distributed it and dove into the food and were not
Ever doubtful that one did not get a share

١٢. ثُمَّ اشتَوَوهُ وهَبُّوا للطَّعام ولم
يَكُن بِهِم قطُّ شاكٍ لم يَنَل جُعَلا

13. When they were full, dignified Nestor stood
On his feet, improvising his words

١٣. لما اكتَفَوا قام نَسطُورُ الوَقُورُ على ال
أَقدَام مُنتَصِباً بالقَولِ مُرتَجِلا

14. My master's boy so let us rush
To a deed that makes the Lord who did, permit us

١٤. أَترِيذُ مَولى المَوَالي فَلنَهُبَّ إِلى
فِعلٍ يُخَوِّلُنا الرَّبُّ الذِي فَعَلا

15. So that the war callers collectively cry
By the ships the heroes of havoc hurriedly

١٥. لِتَهِتفَنَّ دُعَاةُ الحَربِ جامِعةً
لدَى السفَّائنِ أَبطالَ الوَغَى عَجَلا

16. And we all run towards their troops
Inciting the sedition of the Lord of war and valor

١٦. ولنجَرِيَنَّ جَمِيعاً نَحوَ فَيلَقِهم
نَهِيجُ فِتنَةَ رَبِّ الحَربِ والجَذَلا
