1. بَنو وائِلٍ وَبَنو واقِفٍ

    وَخَطمَةُ دونَ بَني الخَزرَجِ

    The sons of Wa'il and the sons of Waqif,

    and Khatma are beneath the sons of al-Khazraj.

  2. مَتى ما دَعَت سَفَهاً وَيحَها

    بِعَولَتِها وَالمَنايا تَجي

    Whenever she called out foolishly—woe to her—

    with her wailing, while death approached,

  3. فَهَزَّت فَتىً ماجِداً عِرقُهُ

    كَريمَ المَداخِلِ وَالمَخرَجِ

    then she roused a youth of glorious stock,

    noble in his coming and going.

  4. فَضَرَّجَها مِن نَجيعِ الدِماءِ

    بَعدَ الهُدوءِ فَلَم يَحرَجِ

    So he stained her with crimson blood,

    after the stillness, and incurred no sin.

  5. فَأَورَدَكَ اللَهَ بَردَ الجِنانِ

    جَذلانَ في نِعمَةِ المَولِجِ

    So may God bring you to the coolness of the Gardens,

    joyful in the bliss of the abode you enter.
