فَتىً بِالبِشرِ يَصطَلِمُ الأَعادي

فَتىً بِالبِشرِ يَصطَلِمُ الأَعادي

وَلَولا الماءُ ما قَطَعَ الحُسامُ

وَلَولا الماءُ ما قَطَعَ الحُسامُ

A youth, with a smiling face, cuts his enemies down;

A young man who annihilates his enemies with a cheerful countenance;

and were it not for water, the keen sword would never cut.

And were it not for water, the keen sword would not cut.
