يَا مُفْرَداً عَلَماً أَوْدَى الجِهَادُ بِهِ

أَفْدَحْ بِخُطْبِ الحِمَى فِي المُفْرَدِ العَلَمِ

O you who fell alone, a flag laid low by the jihad,

More calamitous in the disaster that befell the single flag,

تُلِمُّ بِالرَّمْسِ حُجَّاجاً وَيُفْجِعُنَا

مَا غَيَّبَ الرَّمْسُ مِنْ بَأْسٍ وَمِنْ كَرَمِ

You confronted horsemen with the spear and made us grieve

For the valor and nobility the spear obscured,

أُعْطَيْتَ فقوْمَكَ مَا لَمْ يُعْطِهِ أَحَدٌ

مِنْ ذَاتِ نَفْسٍ وَمِنْ مَالٍ وَمِنْ هِمَمِ

You gave your people what none other gave

Of self, wealth, and valor,

وَكُنْتَ أَوَّلَهُمْ فِي كُلِّ تَفْدِيَةٍ

وَكُنْتَ آخِرَهُمْ فِي كُلِّ مُغْتَنِمِ

And you were the first among them in every ransom

And the last among them in every battle's booty,

لَكَ الخُلُودُ مِنْ ذِكْرَى وَتَكْرُمَةٍ

دُنْيَا وَأُخْرَى وَهَذِي غَايَةُ العِظَمِ

Yours is the eternity of memory and honor

In this world and the next, and herein lies true greatness.
