نَحنُ بَنو الأَرضِ وَسُكّانُها
مِنها خُلِقنا وَإِلَيها نَعود
We are the sons of earth and its dwellers
We are the children of the earth and its inhabitants,
From it we were created and to it we shall return
From it we were created, and to it we return.
وَالسَعدُ لا يَبقى لِأَصحابِهِ
وَالنَحسُ تَمحوهُ ليالي السُعود
Good fortune does not remain for those who possess it
Good fortune does not remain forever with its owners,
And misfortune is erased by nights of prosperity
And misfortune is erased by nights of felicity.
