1. نحن جزيناكم بيوم بدر

    والحرب بعد الحرب ذات سعر

    We have repaid you for the day of Badr.

    And war after war is fiercely ablaze.

  2. ما كان عن عتبة لي من صبر

    ولا أخي وعمه وبكري

    I could not bear the loss of Utbah,

    Nor that of my brother, his uncle, and my firstborn.

  3. شفيت نفسي وقضيت نذري

    شفيت وحشي غليل صدري

    I have healed my soul and fulfilled my vow.

    You have quenched, Wahshi, the burning thirst in my breast.

  4. فشكر وحشي على عمري

    حتى ترم أعظمي في قبري

    So gratitude to Wahshi throughout my life,

    Until my bones decay in my grave.

  5. أبي وعمي وشقيق بكري

    أخي الذي كان كضوء البدر

    My father, my uncle, and my firstborn's full brother,

    My brother, who was like the light of the full moon—

  6. بهم كسرت يا علي ظهري

    Through them, O Ali, you broke my back.
