لَعَمرُكَ ما جاءَت بِنُكرٍ عَشيرَتي

لَعَمرُكَ ما جاءَت بِنُكرٍ عَشيرَتي

وإِن صالَحَت إِخوانها لا أَلومُها

وإِن صالَحَت إِخوانها لا أَلومُها

By your life, my clan has done nothing blameworthy.

By your life, my clan did not come with dishonor

And if it has made peace with its brothers, I do not blame it.

Even if her brothers make peace, I do not blame her

يَوَدُّ جُناةُ الغَيِّ أَنَّ سُيوفَنا

يَوَدُّ جُناةُ الغَيِّ أَنَّ سُيوفَنا

بِأَيمانِنا مَسلولَةً لا نَشيمُها

بِأَيمانِنا مَسلولَةً لا نَشيمُها

The perpetrators of wrongdoing wish that our swords

The sinners wish that our swords

Were drawn in our right hands, never to be sheathed by us.

Were still sheathed by oaths - we will not do so
