يا مُخجِلَ البَدرِ كُلَّما طَلَعا

يا مُخجِلَ البَدرِ كُلَّما طَلَعا

وَفارِسَ الخَيلِ يَومَ كَلَّ وَعى

وَفارِسَ الخَيلِ يَومَ كَلَّ وَعى

O you who shame the full moon whenever it rises,

O you who outshines the full moon whenever it rises

and knight of the cavalry on every day of battle!

And the knight of horses on the day they were all worn out

هَنِئتُ بِالخُلعَةِ الَّتي خَلَعَت

هَنِئتُ بِالخُلعَةِ الَّتي خَلَعَت

قَلبَ مُعاديكَ وَالحَسودِ مَعا

قَلبَ مُعاديكَ وَالحَسودِ مَعا

I rejoiced in the robe of honor that wrenched out

I congratulate you on the robe of honor you were granted

the hearts of your enemy and the envious one together.

That captured the hearts of your enemies and the envious alike

فَقُل لِشانيكَ إِن ظَفَرتَ بِهِ

فَقُل لِشانيكَ إِن ظَفَرتَ بِهِ

قَولاً صَحيحاً يُفيدُ مَن سَمِعا

قَولاً صَحيحاً يُفيدُ مَن سَمِعا

So say to your hater, if you prevail over him,

So say to the one who reproached you if you prevail over him

a true saying that benefits whoever hears it:

A true saying that benefits those who hear it

ما الفَخرُ فيمَن تُزينُهُ خِلَعٌ

ما الفَخرُ فيمَن تُزينُهُ خِلَعٌ

الفَخرُ فيمَن يُزَيِّنُ الخِلَعا

الفَخرُ فيمَن يُزَيِّنُ الخِلَعا

Glory lies not in one whom robes of honor adorn;

What pride is there in one adorned with robes

glory lies in one who adorns the robes of honor.

Pride is in one who adorns the robes
