لَقَد عَلِمَت سُكَينَةُ أَنَّ قَلبي

عَلى الأَحداثِ مُجتَمِعُ الجَنانِ

Sukaynah has known that my heart is

United over events, the assemblage of souls

عَلى النَفَرِ الَّذينَ رُزيتُ لَمّا

خَشيتُ الحادِثاتِ مِنَ الزَمانِ

Over the comrades whom I was nurtured with when

I feared the events of time

لَقَد ضَمِنَت قُبورُهُمُ وَوارَت

مَضارِبَ كُلِّ مَصقولٍ يَمانِ

Their graves have certainly guaranteed and covered

The blades of every polished Yemeni
