وَرُبَّ أَخٍ لَيسَت بِأُمِّكَ أُمُّهُ

وَرُبَّ أَخٍ لَيسَت بِأُمِّكَ أُمُّهُ

مَتى تَدعُهُ لِلرَوعِ يَأتيكَ أَبلَجا

مَتى تَدعُهُ لِلرَوعِ يَأتيكَ أَبلَجا

And many a brother's mother is not your own.

And a brother who's not born of your mother

Whenever you call him in peril, he comes to you bright-faced.

Will come rushing if ever you feel fear

يُواسيكَ في الجُلَّى وَيَحبوكَ بِالنَدى

يُواسيكَ في الجُلَّى وَيَحبوكَ بِالنَدى

وَيَفتَحُ ما كانَ القَضا عَنكَ أَرتَجا

وَيَفتَحُ ما كانَ القَضا عَنكَ أَرتَجا

He supports you in great calamity and bestows bounty upon you.

Comfort you when the nights are cold and long

And opens what fate had barred to you.

And reopen what fate had tightly shut
