وَلمّا وَرَدنا ماءَ مَدينَ يَستقي

عَلى ظَمأ بِتنا إِلى موقف النَجوى

When we reached the waters of Medina to draw

Thirsty as we were, we came to a rendezvous

نَزَلنا عَلى حيٍّ كرامٍ بيوتهم

مُقَدّسة لا هِندَ فيها وَلا عَلوى

We settled with a noble tribe whose homes

Were sacred, containing neither Hind nor 'Alwa

وَلاحَت لَنا نارٌ عَلى البُعد أضرمَت

وَجَدنا عَلَيها مِن تحبُّ وَمَن تَهوى

A fire lit up for us in the distance

Where we found those we love and those we adore

سَقانا وَحيّانا فَأَحيا نُفوسَنا

وَأَسكَرَنا مَن راح إِجلاله التَقوى

They quenched our thirst and brought us to life

And intoxicated us was he whose dignity is piety
