إِذا أَعرَضوا أَلفَينِ مِنها تَعَرَّضَت

لِأُمِّ حَكيمٍ حاجَةٌ في فُؤادِيا

When they turned away two thousand strong, I stood my ground

For the mother of Hakim there is a need in my heart

لَقَد زِدتِ أَهلَ الرِيِّ عِندي مَلاحَةً

وَحَبَّبتِ أَضعافاً إِلَيَّ المَوالِيا

Indeed, in my eyes you have made the genteel more refined

And endeared the loyal many times over
