بانَ الخَليطُ فَوَدَّعوا بِسَوادِ

وَغَدا الخَليطُ رَوافِعَ الأَعمادِ

The mixture has cleared, so they bid farewell with gloom

And the mixture became pillars of support the next morning

لا تَسأَليني ما الَّذي بِيَ بَعدَما

زَوَّدتِني بِلِوى التَناضُبِ زادي

Do not ask me what is wrong with me after

You provided me with the affliction of lovesickness as my provision

عادَت هُمومي بِالأَحَصِّ وِسادي

هَيهاتَ مِن بَلَدِ الأَحَصِّ بِلادي

My worries have returned intensely and my pillow

Alas the land of intensity is not my land

لي خَمسَ عَشرَةَ مِن جُمادى لَيلَةً

ما أَستَطيعُ عَلى الفِراشِ رُقادي

I have fifteen nights of Jumada

I cannot sleep in bed

وَنَعوذُ سَيِّدَنا وَسَيِّدَ غَيرِنا

لَيتَ التَشَكِّيَ كانَ بِالعُوّادِ

And we seek refuge, our Master and the Master of others

I wish complaining was customary

أَن يَكشِفَ الوَصَبَ الَّذي أَمسى بِهِ

فَأَجابَ دَعوَةَ شاكِرٍ مِحمادِ

To relieve the distress that has befallen

So he answered the prayer of a grateful praiser

عَبدَ العَزيزِ غِياثَ كُلِّ مُعَصَّبٍ

مُتَرَوِّحٍ لِجَدا نَداكَ وَغادِ

Slave of Azeez, savior of every aggrieved

Delighting to your closeness and departure

وَإِذا الكِرامُ تَبادَرَت سُبّاقُها

قَصَبَ الرِهانِ سَبَقتَ كُلَّ جَوادِ

And when the generous competed

You won the bet, surpassing every steed

إِنَّ الزِنادَ إِذا خَبَت نيرانُهُ

أَورى الوَليدُ لَكُم بِخَيرِ زِنادِ

Verily, when the spark's fires die out

Al Walid provides you with the best spark

رَفَعوا البِناءَ بَنو الوَليدِ وَأَسَّسوا

بُنيانَةً وَصَلَت أُرومَةَ عادِ

They erected the building, the family of Al Walid, and founded

A lofty structure reaching the heights of ‘Aad

مَن لَم يَجِد دَعَماً تُقيمُ عِمادَهُ

فَبَنو الوَليدِ دَعائِمي وَعِمادي

Whoever cannot find a pillar to support him

The family of Al Walid are my pillars and support

اللَهُ فَضَّلَكُم وَأَعطى مِنكُمُ

أَمراً يُفَقِّئُ أَعيُنَ الحُسّادِ

God has privileged you and granted you

A matter that gouges out the eyes of enviers
