أَسَرَّكَ أَم أَساءَكَ فِعلُ قَومي

غَداةَ الأَحرَمَينِ مِنَ النِجادِ

Did their deeds sadden or offend you?

The day after the two sacred places, from Najd,

كَأَنَّ الخَيلَ بِالنَحيَينِ هَجرا

وَبِالبَقعاءِ رَجلٌ مِن جَرادِ

As if the horses attacked with rage,

And at Al-Baq'a a man from Al Jarad.

صَبَحنَكُم المَنِيَّةَ نادى

مُنادينا وَرادَكُم وَرادِ

Death called on you in the morning,

Our caller called you and you came back.
