يُحَرِّقُ نَفسَهُ الهِندِيُّ خَوفاً

وَيَقصُرُ دونَ ما صَنَعَ الجِهادُ

The Indian burns himself in fear

And falls short of what jihad has done

وَما فِعلَتُهُ عُبّادُ النَصارى

وَلا شَرعِيَّةٌ صَبَأوا وَهادوا

And what the Christian worshippers have done

There is no legitimacy in their Sabianism and Judaism

يُقَرِّبُ جَسمَهُ لِلنارِ عَمداً

وَذَلِكَ مِنهُ دينٌ وَاِجتِهادُ

He brings his body to the fire intentionally

And that is his religion and his diligence

وَمَوتُ المَرءِ نَومٌ طالَ جِدّاً

عَلَيهِ وَكُلُّ عيشَتِهِ سُهادُ

And a person's death is a very long sleep

His whole livelihood was sedation

نُوَدَّعُ بِالصَلاةِ وَداعَ يَأسٍ

وَنُترَكُ في التُرابِ فَلا نُهادُ

We bid farewell with the prayer of despair

And we are left in the dust, so no condolences

أَهالُ مِنَ الثَرى وَالأَرضُ أُمٌّ

وَأُمُّكَ حِجرُها نِعَمَ المِهادُ

Family from the soil and the land is a mother

And your mother’s womb, what a good resting place

إِذا الرَوحُ اللَطيفَةُ زايَلَتني

فَلا هَطَلَت عَلى الرِمَمِ العِهادُ

When the gentle soul departs me

No downpour on the ruins or condolences
