If the going gets tough in his den

إذا تقاعس صعب في خزامته

1. If the going gets tough in his den,
Or if he faces prey with his snout,

١. إِذا تَقاعَسَ صَعبٌ في خِزامَتِهِ
أَو إِن تَعَرَّضَ في خَيشومِهِ صَيَدُ

2. We appease him until the hardship passes,
As it continued with the palm of the killer armed

٢. رُضناهُ حَتّى يَرُدَّ القَسرُ أَوَّلَهُ
كَما اِستَمَرَّ بِكَفِّ القاتِلِ المَسَدُ

3. So be not like one who feeds with her riches
Other's children while hers are left none

٣. فَلا تَكونَن كَمَن تَغذو بِدِرَّتِها
أَولادَ أُخرى وَلا يَبقى لَها وَلَدُ

4. If you unite your affairs your caliphate will prosper
And in unity lies that which holds the pillars together

٤. إِن تُجمِعوا أَمرَكُم تَصلُح خِلافَتَكُم
وَفي الجَماعَةِ ما يَستَمسِكُ العَمَدُ
