أَلا قُل لِأَربابِ المَخائِضِ أَهمِلوا

أَلا قُل لِأَربابِ المَخائِضِ أَهمِلوا

فَقَد تابَ مِمّا تَعلَمونَ يَزيدُ

فَقَد تابَ مِمّا تَعلَمونَ يَزيدُ

Take heed! Tell the owners of pregnant she-camels: leave them untended;

O say to those who stir up strife, let go

for Yazid has repented of what you know.

For Yazid has repented of what you know

وَإِنَّ اِمرِأً يَنجو مِنَ النارِ بَعدَما

وَإِنَّ اِمرِأً يَنجو مِنَ النارِ بَعدَما

تَزَوَّدَ مِن أَعمالِها لَسَعيدُ

تَزَوَّدَ مِن أَعمالِها لَسَعيدُ

And indeed, a man who escapes the Fire after

And truly, after being touched by hell's heat

provisioning himself with deeds that lead to it is truly fortunate.

A man who then makes good is blessed indeed

إِذا ما المَنايا أَخطَأَتكَ وَصادَفَت

إِذا ما المَنايا أَخطَأَتكَ وَصادَفَت

حَميمَكَ فَاِعلَم أَنَّ سَتَعودُ

حَميمَكَ فَاِعلَم أَنَّ سَتَعودُ

When death’s decrees miss you and strike

And when by chance death's dart your dear friend hits

your dear companion, then know that they will return.

Be sure, though gone, again you two shall meet
