1. لَنا أَسمارُ نَعقِدُها عَلَينا

    وَحَولَ بُيوتِنا الغُرُّ الجِيادُ

    We have nightly gatherings that we hold among ourselves,

    And around our homes are illustrious, generous men:

  2. أُناسٌ زَهرُ جودِهِمُ العَطايا

    وَنَبَت رِياضُ رَأيِهُمُ السَدادُ

    People whose bounty bears gifts as its blossoms,

    And whose gardens of counsel yield sound judgment.

  3. إِذا ساروا إِلى الهَيجاءِ ساروا

    وَلَيسَ لَهُم سِوى الأَقدارَ زادُ

    When they march to battle, they march

    And have no provision but the decrees of fate.
