The people of Iraq have carried off the reed of victory;
The people of Iraq have mastered excellence
And their renown has perfumed the assemblies.
And their fame has scented the clubs
وَأَيُّand what خَطيبٍorator يُجاريهِمُcan rival them
وَأَيُّ خَطيبٍ يُجاريهِمُ

وَقَد خَطَبَت فيهِمُ الأَجدِيَه
And what orator can rival them,
What orator can rival them
When even young goats have preached among them?
When their eulogies have been recited by the hands of fate
