1. إِذا ما جاءَ يَومُكَ يا اِبنَ عَوفٍ

    فَلا مَطَرَت عَلى الأَرضِ السَماءُ

    When your day comes, O son of ʿAwf,

    may the sky send no rain upon the earth,

  2. وَلا سارَ البَشيرُ بِغُنمِ جَيشٍ

    وَلا حَمَلَت عَلى الطُّهرِ النِساءُ

    nor a bearer of glad tidings set out with news of an army’s spoils,

    nor women conceive in their time of purity.

  3. تَساقى الناسُ بَعدَكَ يا اِبنَ عَوفٍ

    ذَريعَ المَوتِ لَيسَ لَهُ شِفاءُ

    May people after you, O son of ʿAwf, drink together

    swift death, for which there is no cure.
