وَوَاللَهِ لا تَنفَكُّ مِنّا كَتائِبٌ

وَوَاللَهِ لا تَنفَكُّ مِنّا كَتائِبٌ

بِكُلِّ كَمِيٍّ باسِلِ النَفسِ دارِعِ

بِكُلِّ كَمِيٍّ باسِلِ النَفسِ دارِعِ

And by God, we shall never be without battalions,

By God, battalions will never cease from us,

With every armored warrior, brave of spirit and clad in mail.

With every brave, stout-hearted warrior,

عَرانينُ أَبطالٌ لُيوثٌ أَعِزَّةٌ

عَرانينُ أَبطالٌ لُيوثٌ أَعِزَّةٌ

يَضيقُ بِهِم ما بَينَ سَلعٍ وَفارِعِ

يَضيقُ بِهِم ما بَينَ سَلعٍ وَفارِعِ

Chieftains, heroes, lions, mighty men—

Valiant heroes, fierce lions, honored ones,

The space between Salʿ and Fāriʿ grows cramped with them.

They crowd the region between Sal' and Fari'.

كَتائِبُهُم تَردي بِكُلِّ سَمَيدَعٍ

كَتائِبُهُم تَردي بِكُلِّ سَمَيدَعٍ

أَخي ثِقَةٍ في الحَربِ أَروَعَ بارِعِ

أَخي ثِقَةٍ في الحَربِ أَروَعَ بارِعِ

Their battalions charge with every noble champion,

Their battalions pour down on every Samiyda',

Trustworthy in war, imposing and outstanding.

O brother of proven valor in war, most skilled.

إِذا شَمَّرَت حَربٌ عَوانٌ سَمَوا لَها

إِذا شَمَّرَت حَربٌ عَوانٌ سَمَوا لَها

بِكُلِّ رُدَينِيٍّ وَأَسمَرَ قارِعِ

بِكُلِّ رُدَينِيٍّ وَأَسمَرَ قارِعِ

When renewed war girds itself, they rise to meet it,

When war bares its fangs, they rise to meet it

With every Rudayni lance and dark-shafted, striking spear.

With every strong-armed and dark-skinned warrior.

مَعاقِلُهُم يَومَ الوَغى كُلُّ سابِحٍ

مَعاقِلُهُم يَومَ الوَغى كُلُّ سابِحٍ

وَأَبيَضَ مَفتوقِ الغِرارَينِ قاطِعِ

وَأَبيَضَ مَفتوقِ الغِرارَينِ قاطِعِ

Their strongholds on battle's day: every swimming steed,

Their fortresses on the day of turmoil are every swimmer

And every gleaming, cutting sword, broad along both edges.

And white blade that severs necks.
