1. God, Lord of all people
Does not keep distant salt's kindred.
١. لا يُبعِدُ اللَهُ رَبُّ العِبادِ
وَالمِلحِ ما وَلَدت خالِدَه
2. They feed crows' maws
As horses bolt or give chase.
٢. وَهُم يُطعِمونَ صُدورَ الكُماةِ
وَالخَيلُ تَطرُدُ أَو طارِدَه
3. If death be their end,
Then death claims what birth once did.
٣. فَإِن يَكُنِ المَوتُ أَفناهُمُ
فَلِلمَوتِ ما تَلِدُ الوالِدَه
