يا خَليطاً بِالدبسِ أَقصر عَنِ الـ

ـشَرِّ فَقَد قيلَ رابِحُ الشَرِّ خاسِر

O you who are mixed with honey, refrain from evil

For it is said: the winner in evil is the loser

وَتَرَفَّق بِالجُندِ فَالجُندُ آبا

ؤُكَ إِن صَحَّ أَنَّكَ اِبنُ عَساكِر

And be kind to the troops for the troops are

Your fathers, if it is true you are the son of soldiers
