بَنِي المُزَنَّرِ صَبراً إِنَّ نَظلةَ قَد

لَبَّت دُعا رَبِّها الغَفّارِ إِذ هَتَفا

O Muzaanar's children, patience - for the shade has

Offered its prayer to its Forgiving Lord as it cried out -

بَكرٌ غَدَت في سَما الأَبكارِ راتعةً

وَخَلَّفَت في حِمانا الحُزنَ وَالأَسَفا

Bakr has risen among the virgins' sky at dawn

Leaving behind in our protection sorrow and grief -

قَضَت ثَمانِيَ عَشراً عِندَنا وَمَضَت

كَزائرٍ مَرَّ في الأَحياءِ وَاِنصَرَفا

She spent eighteen years with us then departed

Like a visitor who passed through the neighborhoods and left -

لِذاكَ قامَ لَدى التاريخِ نادِبُها

يَبكي عَلى غُصنِ بانٍ في الصِّبا قُصِفا

That's why her elegist stands in history

Crying for a branch in its youth that was broken off -
