1. أَيا قَومَنا لاتَنشُبوا الحَربَ بَينَنا

    أَيا قَومَنا لاتَقطَعوا اليَدَ بِاليَدِ

    O our people, do not kindle war between us.

    O our people, do not cut off one hand with the other.

  2. عَداوَةُ ذي القُربى أَشَدُّ مَضاضَةً

    عَلى المَرءِ مِن وَقعِ الحُسامِ المُهَنَّدِ

    A kinsman's enmity is more bitter

    to a man than the stroke of a keen Indian-steel sword.

  3. فَيا لَيتَ داني الرَحمِ مِنّا وَمِنكُمُ

    إِذا لَم يُقَرِّب بَينَنا لَم يُبَعِّدِ

    So would that the close kinsman among us and among you,

    if he does not bring us together, would not drive us apart.
