1. ردد من الروح ذكرى سيد البشر

    واعطف على الروح إن الروح في خطر

    And have compassion for the soul, for the soul is in danger.

  2. ذكراه كانت لنفس الحر موعظة

    تغنيه عن كتب التاريخ والسير

    His remembrance was an admonition to the free man's soul,

    Sparing him the need for books of history and biography.

  3. ذكراه للروح تحييها وتنعشها

    ذكراه للروح مثل الماء للشجر

    His remembrance is to the soul as water is to trees.

  4. ذكراه أوحت لأهل الأرض قائلة

    من يتبع الحق يسلم من يد الغير

    Whoever follows truth is safe from the hand of others.

    عادت علينا وكل الناس في ضجر

    Has returned to us while all people are discontented,

  6. حيث الفضيلة ماتت في نفوسهم

    والشر قد عم بين البدو الحضر

    Where virtue has died in their souls,

    And evil has spread among nomads and townsfolk.

  7. والجهل طبق دون العلم أفقهم

    وأصبح العقل عند القوم في حجر

    And reason among the people is now under restraint.

  8. والفقر أدمى قلوب المعدمين كما

    أدمت ذويها النار في سقر

    And poverty has made the hearts of the destitute bleed, just as

    The fire in Saqar has made its inmates bleed.

  9. رحماك يا رب إن الناس قد تركوا

    هدي الرسول وعاشوا عيشة البقر

    Your mercy, O Lord! The people have abandoned

    The Messenger's guidance and lived the life of cattle.

  10. فذاك يصرخ من خطب ألم به

    والدمع تذرفه عيناه كالمطر

    So one cries out at a calamity that has befallen him,

    And his eyes shed tears like rain.

    And spent the night at ease in his filthy tavern.

  12. أين الصلاة التي تحيا القلوب بها

    فاليوم قد أصبحت نقرا على الحصر

    Where is the prayer by which hearts come alive?

    For today it has become mere pecking upon the woven mats.

  13. أين الزكاة التي يجلو الغني بها

    هم الفقير بوجه ضاحك نضر

    Where is the almsgiving by which the rich man dispels

    The poor man's distress, with a radiant, smiling face?

  14. يعطيه من ماله والقلب محتسب

    أمر الإله ولم يغفل عن الذكر

    He gives him of his wealth, his heart seeking reward for obeying

    God's command, and never neglecting remembrance.

  15. أين الجهاد الذي يسمو بصاحبه

    من هذه الأرض حتى منتهى السدر

    Where is the jihad that bears its practitioner aloft

    From this earth to the utmost reach of the lote trees?

  16. أين الجهاد الذي يسري بصاحبه

    نحو الجنان بخط غير منكسر

    Where is the jihad that bears its practitioner by night

    Toward the gardens of Paradise along an unbroken line?

  17. وأين حجاج بيت الله أين غدوا

    قد خاب والله من للبيت لم يزر

    And where are the pilgrims to God's House—where have they gone?

    By God, whoever has not visited the House has surely failed.

  18. قد خالفوا كل ما جاء الرسول به

    وخلفوا البيت للنمسا وللمجر

    They have opposed all that the Messenger brought,

    And left the House to Austria and Hungary.

  19. يا قوم كفوا عن اللذات أنفسكم

    وحرروها فقد ماتت من الصغر

    O my people, restrain your souls from pleasures,

    And set them free, for they have died of abasement.

  20. يا قوم هبو فإن اليوم يومكم

    آن الأوان لنبذ اللهو والسمر

    O my people, rise, for today is your day!

    The time has come to cast off amusement and nightly chatter.

  21. فأخرو كل من لم يأت معركة

    وقدموا كل من في الحرب ذا اثر

    So put to the rear all who have not entered battle,

    And bring forward all who have made their mark in war.

  22. اذا رأى خصمه في الحرب البسه

    ثوبا من الرعب لا ثوبا من الوبر

    When he sees his adversary in war, he clothes him

    In a garment of terror, not a garment of camel hair.

  23. هيا أعدوا لهذي الحرب عدتها

    وعدو الحرب غير القوس والوتر

    Come, prepare the equipment for this war,

    And reckon war to be more than bow and bowstring.

  24. نحارب الكفر بالإيمان فاعتبروا

    والشرك بالحق والتوحيد والسمر

    We fight unbelief with faith—so take heed—

    And polytheism with truth, monotheism, and tawny spears.

  25. كذلك الجهل بالتعليم نهزمه

    كسحق إبليس بالآيات والسور

    Likewise, we defeat ignorance through education,

    As Iblis is crushed by verses and surahs.

    ومن يكن من جنود الله ينتصر

    O my people, do not despair, for God grants us victory;

    And whoever is among God's soldiers will prevail.
