أَعَينِيَ فيضي وَلا تَبخُلي

فَإِنَّكِ لِلدَمعِ لَم تَبذُلي

My eyes overflow, do not be stingy

For towards tears, you have not been frugal

وَجودي بِدَمعِكِ وَاِستَعبِري

كَسَحِّ الخَليجِ عَلى الجَدوَلِ

With your tears make my generosity flow

Like the tide on the streams

عَلى خَيرِ مَن يَندُبُ المُعوَلونَ

وَالسَيِّدِ الأَيِّدِ الأَفضَلِ

For the best of those who the bereaved mourn

The most virtuous, most excellent master

طَويلِ النِجادِ رَفيعِ العِمادِ

لَيسَ بِوَغدٍ وَلا زُمَّلِ

Of lofty glory and high pillars

No faint-hearted or weak-willed man

يُجيدُ الكِفاحَ غَداةَ الصُياحِ

حامي الحَقيقَةِ لَم يَنكَلِ

Who excels in battle at daybreak

Defender of truth, he did not waver

كَأَنَّ العُداةَ إِذا ما بَدا

يَخافونَ وَرداً أَبا أَشبُلِ

The enemies when they appear

They fear the onslaught of the valiant father of cubs

مُدِلّاً مِنَ الأُسدِ ذا لِبدَةٍ

حَمى الجِزعَ مِنهُ فَلَم يُنزَلِ

With the courage of a fierce lion in his prime

He protected the fearful from it, did not take it lightly

يَعِفُّ وَيَحمي إِذا ما اِعتَزى

إِلى الشَرَفِ الباذِخِ الأَطوَلِ

He restrains and protects when enraged

To the most noble and tallest principles

يُحامي عَنِ الحَيِّ يَومَ الحِفاظِ

وَالجارِ وَالضَيفِ وَالنُزَّلِ

Shielding the living on the day of reckoning

And the neighbor, guest and lodger

وَمُستَنَّةٍ كَاِستِنانِ الخَليجِ

فَوّارَةِ الغَمرِ كَالمِرجَلِ

And like the bending of the tide

Seething sea spray like a cauldron

رَموحٍ مِنَ الغَيظِ رُمحُ الشَموسِ

تَلافَيتَ في السَلَفِ الأَوَّلِ

Billowing waves of rage, spears of sunbeams

You have mingled in ancestors of old

لِتَبكِ عَلَيكَ عِيالُ الشِتاءِ

إِذا الشَولُ لاذَت مِنَ الشَمأَلِ

To weep for you, the children of winter

When the north winds take refuge from the cold snap
