قالوا الحِمى قد جيسَ من أطْرافِهِ

والخَصْمُ بالنَّبْلِ المُجَرَّدِ قد رَمى

They said the sacred lands have been defiled at their borders

And the enemies have cast their sharpened spears

قُلْنا يَعودُ عليهِ زَخُّ نِبالِهِ

شَيْخُ العَواجِزِ دائماً حامي الحِمى

We said his own arrows will fall back upon him

The guardian of the weak always protects the sacred lands
