تَعُدُّونَ قَتلاً في الحَرامِ عَظيمَةً

وَأَعظَمُ مِنهُ لَو يَرى الرُشدَ راشِدُ

You consider killing in the sacred month a grave sin,

Though greater if the righteous saw true guidance.

صُدودُكُم عَمّا يَقولُ مُحَمَّدٌ

وَكُفرٌ بِهِ وَاللَهُ رَبِّيَ شاهِدُ

Your rejection of what Muhammad says,

And disbelief in him, while God is my witness.

وَإِخراجُكُم مِن مَسجِدِ اللَهِ أَهلَهُ

لِئَلّا يُرى لِلَّهِ في البَيتِ ساجِدُ

Your expulsion of God's people from His mosque,

Lest prostrators to God be seen in the House.

فَإِنّا وَإِن عَيَّرتُمونا بِقَتلِهِ

وَأَرجَفَ بِالإِسلامِ باغٍ وَحاسِدُ

Yet if you reproach us for killing him,

And those envious and hostile to Islam roar,

سَقَينا مِنَ اِبنِ الحَضرَمِيِّ رِماحَنا

بِنَخلَةَ لَمّا أَوقَدَ الحَربَ واقِدُ

We quenched our spears in Ibn al-Hadrami's blood

When he ignited war, fanning its flames.

دَماً وَاِبنُ عَبدِ اللَهِ عُثمانُ بَينَنا

يُنازِعُهُ غُلٌّ مِنَ القِدِّ عارِدُ

Blood between us and the son of Abdullah, Usman,

Whose neck sinews stubbornly resist the sword.
