نَحنُ المُقاوِلُ وَالأَملاكُ قَد عَلِمَت

أَهلُ المَراشي بِأَنّا أَهلُ غُمدانا

We are the builders and the lords, the people of Marib knew

That we are the people of scabbards

وَأَنَّنا رَبُّ بَينونٍ وَأَضرُعِهِ

وَالشيدِ مِن هَكِرٍ ناهيكَ بُنيانا

And that we are the lords of Baynoun and its meadows

And the best builders, not to mention the architecture

بَراقِشٌ وَمَعينٌ نَحنُ عامِرُها

وَنَحنُ أَربابُ صِرواحٍ وَرَيشانا

Baraqish and Ma'een, we populated them

And we are the lords of Sarwah and Rayshan

وَناعِطٍ نَحنُ شَيَّدنا مَعاقِلَها

وَمأَذَناً قَد عَلا نَشقاً وَنوفانا

And Na't, we built its fortresses

And minarets that rose high piercing the skies

وَتَلفَمُ البَونِ وَالقَصرَينِ مِن خَمَرٍ

وَتَنعُمٍ وَقُرى شَرحٍ وَدَعّانا

Talfam of Bawan and the two palaces, with wine

And comfort, and the villages of Sharh and Da'an

وَالهِندَين بَنى ذو التاجِ مِن تُبَعٍ

وَقَصرِ ذي الوَرد تاما راسَ أَلهانا

And the two Hindas, built by the crowned one from Tubba'

And the palace of flowers, perfect, topping the summits

وَفي رِئامٍ وَفي النجدَين مِن مَدرٍ

عَلا المَنارُ وَحَفَ الشيِّدُ إِيوانا

And in Riyam and in the two Najds of mud brick

The minaret rose high and the builder surrounded it with a courtyard

وَفي ظِفارَ بَنتَ آباؤنا غُرَفاً

وَكَوكبانِ وَقصرِ المُلكِ ريدانا

And in Dhofar our fathers built chambers

And domes, and the palace of the king, the unique one

وَقَصرَ بَينُونَ عَلّاهُ وَشيَّدَهُ

ذُو الفَخرِ عَمرٌو وَسَوّى قَصرَ غُمدانا

And the palace of Baynoun was erected and built

By the glorious Amr, and he leveled the palace of Gumdan

وَقَصرَ أَحوَرَ رَأسُ القَيلِ ذي يَزَنٍ

وَقَصرَ فَيّاشَ في أَريابَ قَد كانا

And the palace of Ahwar, the tallest of buildings, of Yazan

And the palace Fayyash in the meadows, both existed

وَقَصرَ سُلحِينِ عَلّاهُ وَشَيَّدَهُ

كَهلانُ وَالِدُنا أَحبِب بِكَهلانا

And the palace of Suhayn was erected and built

By our father Kahlun whom we loved, O Kahlun

فَأَصبَحَت مارِبٌ لِلريحِ مُختَرَقاً

بَعدَ القُصور وَبَعدَ الشِيدِ مَيدانا

So Marib became perforated by the winds

After the palaces and after the buildings, an arena

ساقَ المياهَ إِلى سَدٍّ لمارِبنا

للجَنتين معايِينا وَثُعبانا

He brought water to a dam for our Marib

For the two gardens, our springs and cobras
