في فِتنَةٍ أَخلاقُهُم وَفِعالُهُم

عِرسٌ تَكامَلَ حُسنُها وَعَرائِسُ

Their morals and deeds in turmoil

A wedding whose beauty and brides are complete

حَلَّ السُرورُ حُباهُمُ في مَجلِسٍ

لِلمَجدِ وَالعَلياءِ فيهِ مَجالِسِ

Joy has granted them its gifts in a gathering

For glory and nobility, it has receptions

فَهُمُ إِذا نَظَروا الصَديقَ كَواكِبٌ

زُهرٌ وَإِن نَظَروا العَدُوَّ حَنادِسُ

So whenever they look at a friend like stars

Blossoms, and whenever they look at a foe like hawks

أَو قيلَ تَلتَفُّ الجِيادُ بِمِثلِها

فَهُمُ ضَراغِمُ وَالعُداةُ فَرائِسُ

Or it's said war horses twist around the likes of them

They are stallions and the enemies are mares

فَاللَيلُ مِنهُم شامِسٌ وَالصُبحُ مِن

هُم دامِسٌ وَالدَهرُ مِنهُم وارِسُ

So the night because of them is bright and the dawn from

Them is crushing and time because of them is guarding
