يا عَينُ جودي عَلى عَمروُ بنِ مَسعودِ

يا عَينُ جودي عَلى عَمروُ بنِ مَسعودِ

أَهلِ العَفافِ وَأَهلِ الحَزمِ وَالجودِ

أَهلِ العَفافِ وَأَهلِ الحَزمِ وَالجودِ

O eye, pour out your tears for Amr ibn Masud,

O my eyes, be generous to Amr ibn Mas'ud

A man of chastity, sound judgment, and generosity.

The people of chastity, wisdom and generosity

أَودى رَبيعُ الصَعاليكِ الأُلى اِنتَجَعوا

أَودى رَبيعُ الصَعاليكِ الأُلى اِنتَجَعوا

وَكُلَّ ما فَوقَها مِن صالِحٍ مودي

وَكُلَّ ما فَوقَها مِن صالِحٍ مودي

The springtime of the destitute who sought sustenance has perished,

The spring of valorous youths has passed away in Intaj

And every worthy soul upon the earth will perish.

And all the righteous after it are grieving

المُطعِمُ الحيَّ وَالأَمواتَ إِن نَزَلوا

المُطعِمُ الحيَّ وَالأَمواتَ إِن نَزَلوا

شَحمَ السَنامِ مِنَ الكومِ المَقاحيدِ

شَحمَ السَنامِ مِنَ الكومِ المَقاحيدِ

He who fed the living and the dead, if they came to lodge,

The one who feeds the living and the dead when they come

Fat from the humps of lofty, thick-humped she-camels;

The choicest meat of the hump from the best she-camels

وَالواهِبُ المِئَةَ المِعكاءَ يَشفَعُها

وَالواهِبُ المِئَةَ المِعكاءَ يَشفَعُها

يَومَ النِضالِ بِأُخرى غَيرَ مَجهودِ

يَومَ النِضالِ بِأُخرى غَيرَ مَجهودِ

And gave a full hundred camels, doubling their number

And the one who gives away a hundred lean she-camels as charity

On the day of the archery contest with another hundred, without strain.

On the day of strife he doubles it without effort

إِنَّ مِنَ القومِ مَوجوداً خَليفَتُهُ

إِنَّ مِنَ القومِ مَوجوداً خَليفَتُهُ

وَما خَليفُ أَبي وَهبٍ بِمَوجودِ

وَما خَليفُ أَبي وَهبٍ بِمَوجودِ

Indeed, among men are those whose successor can be found,

Indeed, among the people he has a successor after him

But no successor to Abu Wahb can be found.

But the successor of Abu Wahb is not to be found
