1. O Safiyya, arise, do not despair,
And let the women weep for Hamza,
١. صَفِيَّةُ قُومي ولا تَعْجَزي
وَبَكّي النّسَاءَ على حَمْزَةِ
2. Do not tire of prolonging the weeping,
For the lion of Allah in the battle,
٢. ولا تَسْأَمي أنْ تُطِيلي البُكَا
عَلَى أَسَدِ الله في الهِزَّةِ
3. For he was the shelter for our orphans,
And the fierce warrior in the fight,
٣. فَقَدْ كَانَ عِزّاً لأَيْتامِنَا
وَلَيْثَ المَلاَحِمِ في البِزَّةِ
4. With that he seeks the pleasure of Ahmed,
And the satisfaction of the Lord of the Throne and Might.
٤. يُرِيدُ بذَاكَ رِضَا احْمَدٍ
وَرُضْوانَ ذي العرشِ والعِزَّةِ
