دعاكِ خيرُ داعي
O soul, do not be afraid.
Roaming soul, heed
The best of callers has called you.
The call of goodness pleading;
إنif قُطعتhas been severed كراعيmy leg
إن قُطعت كراعي
إنّindeed معيwith me ذِراعيmy arm
إنّ معي ذِراعي
If my leg has been severed,
Though limbs be hacked and bleeding,
Indeed, my arm is with me.
My arms remain unceding.
