للغزو نشاطي وإليه طرَبي

للغزو نشاطي وإليه طرَبي

ما لي في العيش غيرَهُ من أَرَب

ما لي في العيش غيرَهُ من أَرَب

My zeal is for campaigning, and my delight turns toward it.

My vigor is for conquest, and to it my delight,

In life I have no desire other than it.

I have in life no interest but this to excite,

بالجدِّ وبالجهاد نُجحُ الطلّب

بالجدِّ وبالجهاد نُجحُ الطلّب

والرَّاحةُ مستودعةُ في التّعَب

والرَّاحةُ مستودعةُ في التّعَب

Through diligence and struggle comes success in the quest.

By striving and holy war the seeker finds his plight,

And rest is stored away in toil.

And rest is housed in exhaustion, that is right.
