وَيَشْجُر الأَبْلَخَ بِالدِعَمِّ

بِمِزْحَمٍ أَرْكانُهُ دِقَمِّ

The palm tree grows twisted with props

Its pillars bent with effort

عَاسِي الشُؤُونِ قَطِمِ القِطْيَمِّ

لَمْ يُدْمِ مَرْنَيْهِ خِشاشُ الزَمِّ

Neglecting affairs, breaking contracts

Its flexibility not worn by the passage of time

وَلَيْسَ بِالمُوَقَّعِ العِرْصَمِّ

وَجامِعِ القُطْرَيْنِ مُطْرَخِمِّ

Not marked with seals

Uniting the two races, pure bred

بَيَّضَ عَيْنَيْهِ العَمَى المُعَمِّي

مِنْ نَحَمَانِ الحَسَدِ النِحَمِّ

Blinded by an obscuring blindness

From the rancor of seething envy

ما الناسُ إِلَّا كَالثُمامِ الثَمِّ

يَرْضَونَ بِالتَعْبِيدِ وَالتَأَمِّي

People are but like fluttering moths

Content with enslavement and blindness

لَنَا إِذَا مَا خَنْدَقَ المُسَمِّي

نَتْرُكُ ذَا القَرْنَيْنِ كَالأَجَمِّ

When our armed warrior digs in

We will leave this two-horned one like a rock

مُكَسَّراً عَنْ صَخْرِنَا الأَصَمِّ

عَنْ صامِل الأَرْكانِ مُجْلَخَمِّ

Broken against our unhearing stone

Against the pillar of sturdy pillars

نَكْسِرُ ضِرْسَ الهَقِمِ القَهْقَمِّ

وَإِنْ زَخَرْنا كَعُبَابِ اليَمِّ

We will break the molar of the crushing biter

And if we boiled like the foam of the sea

عَضَّلَ فَرْغَ الواسِعِ الدِقَمِّ

مِنَّا مُجِيرُ الناسِ بِالمَضَمِّ

It twists the expanse of the solid land

Among us is the protector of people with strength

بِمَشْعَرِ المُعْرَّفِ القِذَمِّ

وَالمُلْكُ فِينَا وَالإِمامُ الأُمِّي

With the hair of familiar recognition

And leadership is among us and the leading Imam

لَنَا وَفِينَا مُخُّ كُلِّ رِمِّ

For us and in us lies the secret of all matters
