مَن كانَ أَنفَقَ في نَصرِ الهُدى نَشبا

فَأَنتَ أَنفَقتَ فيهِ النَفسَ وَالنَشبا

Whoever has spent his wealth to secure the triumph of right guidance,

you have spent in its cause both life and wealth.

يُذكي أَخوكَ شِهابَ الحَربِ مُعتَمِداً

فَيَستَضيءُ وَيَغشى جَدُّكَ اللَهَبا

Resolutely, your brother kindles war’s meteor-fire,

so it blazes bright, while your fortune braves the flames.
