أَبا القَدَرِ المُتاحِ رَدينُ جِنٌّ

أَبا القَدَرِ المُتاحِ رَدينُ جِنٌّ

تَسمَعُ غَيرَ هائِبَةِ الرُجومِ

تَسمَعُ غَيرَ هائِبَةِ الرُجومِ

O father of allotted fate, Radīn is a host of jinn,

O Time's grantor, a demon answers my call

who listen, unafraid of the missiles,

It hears the din of spears beyond the fray

وَتَعلَمُ أَنَّ ما لَم يُنضَ صَعبٌ

وَتَعلَمُ أَنَّ ما لَم يُنضَ صَعبٌ

فَما تَخشى المَنِيَّةَ في الهُجومِ

فَما تَخشى المَنِيَّةَ في الهُجومِ

and know that what has not been worn down is unyielding,

And knows that which is unyielding is hard

so they fear no death in the charge.

So it fears not death amid the affray

بِإِذنِ اللَهِ يَنفُذُ كُلُّ أَمرٍ

بِإِذنِ اللَهِ يَنفُذُ كُلُّ أَمرٍ

فَنَهنِه فَيضَ أَدمُعِكَ السُجومِ

فَنَهنِه فَيضَ أَدمُعِكَ السُجومِ

By God's leave, every decree takes effect.

By God's will each matter comes to pass

So stem the flood of your streaming tears.

So gently weep and let tears stream away

يَجوزُ بِحُكمِهِ مَوتُ الثُرِّيا

يَجوزُ بِحُكمِهِ مَوتُ الثُرِّيا

وَأَن تَبقى السَماءُ بِلا نُجومِ

وَأَن تَبقى السَماءُ بِلا نُجومِ

By His decree, the Pleiades may die,

By His decree die the wealthy and thrive

and the sky may remain without stars.

And skies are emptied of every star's ray

وَكَم وَجَم الفَتى مِن بَعدِ ضِحكٍ

وَكَم وَجَم الفَتى مِن بَعدِ ضِحكٍ

وَأُضحِكَ بَعدَ إِفراطِ الوُجومِ

وَأُضحِكَ بَعدَ إِفراطِ الوُجومِ

And how often a young man has fallen gloomily silent after laughter,

After laughter, how often does sorrow come

and been made to laugh after excessive gloom.

And after gloom's excess, joy finds its way
