جَلَّ اِمرُؤٌ مُنفَرِداً وَجَلّا

جَلَّ اِمرُؤٌ مُنفَرِداً وَجَلّا

في زَمَنٍ لَم يَرَ فيهِ مِثلا

في زَمَنٍ لَم يَرَ فيهِ مِثلا

A man rose to greatness, standing alone, and was exalted,

A man stood out, magnificent and grand,

in an age in which he saw no equal.

In an age where none could equal him.

قَد أَكَلَ الحَمدُ تِلادي أَكلا

قَد أَكَلَ الحَمدُ تِلادي أَكلا

وَالعَضبُ لا يَثنيهِ إِن يُفَلّا

وَالعَضبُ لا يَثنيهِ إِن يُفَلّا

Praise has utterly consumed my inherited wealth.

Praise consumed his flanks voraciously,

And a keen sword is not turned back, even if nicked.

And anger would not bend him, even if subdued.
