لا يَشمَتِ الأَعداءُ بِالمَوتِ إِنَّنا

لا يَشمَتِ الأَعداءُ بِالمَوتِ إِنَّنا

سَنُخلي لَهُم مِن عَرصَةِ المَوتِ مَورِدا

سَنُخلي لَهُم مِن عَرصَةِ المَوتِ مَورِدا

Let not the enemies gloat over death, for we

وَلا تَحسَبَنَّ المَوتَ عاراً فَإِنَّنا

وَلا تَحسَبَنَّ المَوتَ عاراً فَإِنَّنا

رَأَينا المَنايا قَد أَصَبنَ مُحَمَّدا

رَأَينا المَنايا قَد أَصَبنَ مُحَمَّدا

وَلا يَحسِبِ الأَعداءُ أَنَّ مُصيبَتي

وَلا يَحسِبِ الأَعداءُ أَنَّ مُصيبَتي

أَكَلَّت لَهُم مِنّي لِساناً وَلا يَدا

أَكَلَّت لَهُم مِنّي لِساناً وَلا يَدا

تَتابَعَ في عامٍ بَنِيَّ وَإِخوَتي

تَتابَعَ في عامٍ بَنِيَّ وَإِخوَتي

فَأَصبَحتُ إِن لَم يُخلِفِ اللَهُ واحِدا

فَأَصبَحتُ إِن لَم يُخلِفِ اللَهُ واحِدا

My sons and my brothers followed one another in death within a year,

so I am left alone, unless God makes good my loss.
