1. نِصَالٌ مَلَّتِ الأجْفَانْ

    وَنَوْمٌ أَتْعبَ الأجْفَانْ

    Blades have grown weary of their sheaths,

    And sleep has wearied the eyelids.

  2. فَهُبُّوا أَيُّهَا الأَبِطَالْ

    وَسُلُّوهَا مِن الأَغْمَادْ

    So rise, O heroes,

    And draw them from the sheaths—

  3. سُيُوفاً تُبْرِيءُ الأحْقَادْ

    وَتُحْيِي مَيَّتَ الآمَالْ

    Swords that cure hatred

    And revive dead hopes.
