دعوا غناءَ سماعه

وابدوا بنيكِ سماعه

Leave off your singing and listen,

Forsake the songs of idle ears,

Begin listening, my lads.

And show your sons how duty hears.

ثوروا إليه ونادوا

إنّ الصلاةَ جماعه

Cry out to him, call out:

Rise up to him and call the nation:

"The prayers must be said together!"

"True prayer is held in congregation."

فذاك رأي وحزمٌ

وما سواه رَقاعه

That is wisdom and resolution,

For this is wisdom and firm intent,

Anything else is mere foolishness.

And all else is foolish sentiment.
