هلاّ وقفتَ على الأجراعِ من بتنٍ

وما وقوف كبيرِ السنِّ في الدِّمَنِ

Have you stopped at the traces of encampment from date palms,

And stopping of an old man is not despicable.

إنْ تَسأليني بقومي تَسألي رجلاً

في ذِروة العزِّ من أحياءِ ذي يمنِ

If you ask me about my people, you ask a man,

At the peak of glory from the living people of Yemen.

حَولي بها ذو كَلاع في منازِلها

وذو رُعَينٍ وهَمْدانٌ وذو يَزَنِ

Around me, the owner of a castle in its dwellings,

And the owner of cattle and Hamdan and owner of Yazan.

والأَزْدُ أُزد عُمانَ الأكرمون إذا

عُدَّت مآثِرُهُم في سالفِ الزمنِ

And Al-Azd, the generous Azd of Oman, when

Their glories are counted in past ages.

بانت كَريمَتُهم عنّي فدارُهُمُ

داري وفي الرِّحبِ من أوطانهم وَطني

Their generosity towards me is evident, so their homes

Are my home, and among their lands, their plains are my plains.

لي منزلانِ بلحجٍ منزلٌ وسطٌ

منها ولي منزلٌ للعزّ في عَدَنِ

I have two homes in Lahj, a middle home,

And I have a dignified home for me in Aden.

ثمَّ الولاءُ الذي أرجو النجاةَ به

من كَبّةِ النار للهادي أبي حسنِ

Then the loyalty by which I hope for salvation

From the agony of fire, to the Guide Abu Hassan.
