أتَعِزُّ على الكريمِ النُّونُ

أتَعِزُّ على الكريمِ النُّونُ

هَلالُ وَهْوَ المِحل الأمينُ

هَلالُ وَهْوَ المِحل الأمينُ

Is the letter nūn beyond the generous man's reach?

Does the noble youth grieve for the crescent moon,

Hilal—and he is resourceful and trustworthy—

That graceful orb, the trustworthy abode?

فتى سَعِيد حُلاحِل الأوسِ طُرَّاً

فتى سَعِيد حُلاحِل الأوسِ طُرَّاً

مُذْ نَشَا قَطُّ ما دَناهُ الهُونُ

مُذْ نَشَا قَطُّ ما دَناهُ الهُونُ

Sa'id's son, chieftain of all the Aws.

He is a blissful knight with gleaming weapons,

Since he grew up, humiliation has never come near him.

Since childhood no disgrace has touched him.

لَمْ يَجِدْ الطالبونَ شبيهاً له

لَمْ يَجِدْ الطالبونَ شبيهاً له

إنْ انجدا أوْ هُمْ حَوَتْهُم حزونُ

إنْ انجدا أوْ هُمْ حَوَتْهُم حزونُ

The seekers have found no equal to him,

Those who seek his equal will not find one,

Whether the two went upland or they were enclosed by rugged terrain.

Whether they despair or sorrow confounds them.
