أَلَم تَرَيا أَنَّ الجَوادَ اِبنَ مَعمَرٍ

أَلَم تَرَيا أَنَّ الجَوادَ اِبنَ مَعمَرٍ

لَهُ راحَتا غَيثٍ يَفيضُ مُديمُها

لَهُ راحَتا غَيثٍ يَفيضُ مُديمُها

Have you two not seen that the generous Ibn Maʿmar

Have you not seen that the steed, son of Ma'mar

has two palms of rain, whose steady showers overflow?

Has the ease of abundant rain overflowing its rivers

إِذ جائَهُ السُؤآلُ فادَت عَلَيهِمُ

إِذ جائَهُ السُؤآلُ فادَت عَلَيهِمُ

سِجالُ يَدَيهِ فَاِستَقَلَّ عَديمُها

سِجالُ يَدَيهِ فَاِستَقَلَّ عَديمُها

When the petitioners came to him, there poured upon them

When the questioning came upon them

the brimming buckets of his hands, and their destitute became self-sufficient.

The clashing of its hands overpowered the destitute

نَمَتهُ بَنو تَيمِ اِبنِ مُرَّةَ لِلعُلى

نَمَتهُ بَنو تَيمِ اِبنِ مُرَّةَ لِلعُلى

وَحاطَت حِماهُ مِن قُرَيشٍ قُرومُها

وَحاطَت حِماهُ مِن قُرَيشٍ قُرومُها

The sons of Taym ibn Murrah raised him to glory,

The Bani Taym brought it up for greatness

and Quraysh's chieftains guarded his domain.

And its protectors from Quraysh surrounded its settlements

وَما يَبلُغُ البَحرانِ مِن آلِ غالِبٍ

وَما يَبلُغُ البَحرانِ مِن آلِ غالِبٍ

إِذا هُزَّ يَوماً لِلنَوالِ كَريمُها

إِذا هُزَّ يَوماً لِلنَوالِ كَريمُها

Nor can the two seas rival the house of Ghalib,

And the two seas do not reach what the family of Ghālib attains

when its generous man is stirred one day to give.

Whenever its generosity is stirred for the noble ones

وَهُم ساسَةُ الإِسلامِ وَالقادَةُ الأُلى

وَهُم ساسَةُ الإِسلامِ وَالقادَةُ الأُلى

يَقومُ عَلى الحُكّامِ يَوماً حُكومُها

يَقومُ عَلى الحُكّامِ يَوماً حُكومُها

And they are Islam's governors and the leaders whose

And they are the leaders of Islam and the foremost guides

ruling authority one day stands above the rulers.

Who will one day rule over the rulers and their regimes
