1. تَصَدَّقتُ عَلى قَومي

    بِما أَبقَيتُ مِن عُمري

    I gave alms to my people

    with what I had kept of my life.

  2. أَنا اِبنُ السادَةِ القادَ

    ةِ وَاِبنُ الغُرَرَِ الزُهرِ

    I am the son of the lords, the leaders,

    and the son of the illustrious, radiant ones.

  3. أَقَمنا أَوَدَ الأَعنا

    قِ بِالهِندِيَّةِ البُترِ

    We straightened crooked necks

    with keen-cutting Indian swords.

  4. وَما لِلحُرِّ مَنجاةٌ

    كَمِثلِ السَيفِ وَالصَبرِ

    And for a free man there is no deliverance

    like the sword and steadfastness.
