1. أيها الشامتون لؤماً ب

    نا لما دهانا من دهرنا ما دهانا

    O you who gloat at our misery

    We were not harmed by what fate had decreed for us

  2. لم يضرنا أنا شقينا ومتنا

    قد نجونا بعرضنا وكفانا

    It did not hurt us that we suffered and died

    We were saved by our honor and it was enough for us

  3. أيها المطعمون خيلكم القم

    ح وأولادنا تسف الزؤانا

    O you who feed your horses dates

    While our children quench their thirst with tears

  4. نحن جعنا ولم نهن وسوانا

    كثر الزاد في يديه وهانا

    We are hungry but did not waver or equivocate

    With ample provisions in their hands they disgraced us

  5. أيها الرافلون بالخز زهواً

    نحن قوم نفضل الأكفانا

    O you who boast of your fine clothes

    We are a people who prefer shrouds

  6. ليس من يلبس الدمقس بذي

    سترٍ إذا كان عرضه عريانا

    No one who wears rags can claim

    To be modest if they have exposed their honor

  7. أيها المفتدون أرواحهم بالعر

    ض يولون أمره الشيطانا

    O you who trade your souls for

    Greed carrying out the devil's command

  8. قد حميتهم أرواحكم وبذلناها

    لنحمي الأعراض والاوطانا

    We have protected our souls and sacrificed them

    To safeguard our honor and homelands
