قومٌ لهم حسن الوفا شيمة
وبذلهم يوم العطايا كسَو
A people of fine loyalty their trait
Their generosity on days of giving like heavy rain
نؤُ سحاب فاض من كفهم
جودا إلا أدن من حماهم ورو
They are clouds bursting with generosity from their palms
Except for those who draw near their sanctuary and dwell
روّي لظى قلبك ياذا الظما
في برجهم وأمرح هناء بدو
Quench the burning thirst of your heart, O aggrieved one
And cheer happily while wandering their abode
الدو سهل مثل أخلاقهم
ما فيهم بالسلم طبع كلو
Their path is smooth like their character
No stubborn nature in them when it comes to peace
كلو صعبٌ نيل علياهم
عليّهم بدرٌ تلالا بجو
Yet it's hard to attain their loftiness
Upon them a full moon rises through their atmosphere
جو سماء البذل جون لهم
يهدي السنا عن فضهلم ضو
The atmosphere of generosity is familiar to them
Sending gifts despite their overflowing virtue
ضوءُ شعاع لاح في حبهم
يقول للحادي إذا زار ضو
The rays of their love shine
Telling the lost: visit their glow
سموا فخاراً في عليّ الرضى
ما قال لا منعا ولا قال لو
They were prided as the highest of the pleased
Never refusing or saying "if only" when asked to give
لو جاد منعا في ندى كفه
أحيى هشيما يابسا فيه لو
If the Nile of their palms poured forth generously
It would revive barren, withered remains if only a drop
لوى عنان الضد يوما به
ترنو العوالي عاطفات بأو
If one day they bent the neck of adversity
High ambitions would yearn for their compassion
إلا واعيا ءُ اشتباك القنا
لما سيوف القوم دما همَو
Had they not been aware of the clashing of swords
Their people's blood never would have been shed
هموا بأقدام على ضمر
في سيرهم برق الغوادي حكو
They set out with their feet on the path
Like lightning flashing through the darkness
ان كنت لا تفهم سل عنهم
سمر العوالي والظبا ما حكو
If you do not understand, ask about them
The summits and gazelles will tell what they have heard
قوم نضاهي الأصمي فيهم
من حيث ضاهوا معن فيما عطو
A people who rival fate in generosity
However much fate gave, they gave more in return
