يا ضَمْرُ هلْ نلْناكُمُ بدمائِنا

أَمْ هَل حَذَوْنا نَعْلَكُمْ بِمِثالِ

O conscience, have we reached you with our blood

Or have we matched your shoes with examples?

تَبْكِي لِقتْلَى من فُقْيمٍ قُتِّلوا

فاليومَ تَبْكِي صادقاً لِهلالِ

You cry for those killed from my poor people

Today you cry truthfully for Hilal

ولقدْ شفاني أَنْ رأيْتُ نساءَكُمْ

يَبْكِينَ مُرْدَفَةً على الأكْفاَلِ

And it cured me when I saw your women

Crying in succession on coffins

يا َضَمْرُ إنَّ الحَرْبَ أَضْحتْ بينَنا

لَقحَتْ على الدَّكَّاءِ بعد حِيالِ

O conscience, war between us

Has ignited after a truce
