قُل لِلأراملِ وَاليَتامى قَد ثوى

قُل لِلأراملِ وَاليَتامى قَد ثوى

فَلتبكِ أعيُنها لفقدِ حبابِ

فَلتبكِ أعيُنها لفقدِ حبابِ

Tell the widows and the orphans: he has lain at rest;

Tell the widows and the orphans their loved one is gone

So let their eyes weep for the loss of Habab.

So let their eyes shed tears for the loss of their beloved

أودى اِبن كلّ مخاطرٍ بتلادهِ

أودى اِبن كلّ مخاطرٍ بتلادهِ

وَلنفسهِ بقيا على الأحسابِ

وَلنفسهِ بقيا على الأحسابِ

The scion of all who risk their inherited wealth has perished,

The son of every risk-taker died for his country

And spare themselves out of regard for ancestral honor—

And for himself remain only names in the records

الراكبينَ مِنَ الأمورِ صُدورَها

الراكبينَ مِنَ الأمورِ صُدورَها

لا يَركَبونَ معاقدَ الأذنابِ

لا يَركَبونَ معاقدَ الأذنابِ

Those who mount the foreparts of affairs,

Those who ride on the chests of matters

Never riding at the roots of tails.

Do not hold on to the tails of rumors
