جُذامٌ سُيوفُ اللَهِ في كُلِّ مَوطِنٍ

جُذامٌ سُيوفُ اللَهِ في كُلِّ مَوطِنٍ

إِذا أَزَمَت يَومَ اللِقاءِ أُزامِ

إِذا أَزَمَت يَومَ اللِقاءِ أُزامِ

Judham are God's swords on every battlefield,

The swords of God in every place,

when Calamity bites on the day of battle.

When the time of confrontation becomes pressing.

هُمُ مَنَعوا ما بَينَ مِصرٍ فَذي القُرى

هُمُ مَنَعوا ما بَينَ مِصرٍ فَذي القُرى

إِلى الشامِ مِن حِلٍّ بِهِ وَحَرامِ

إِلى الشامِ مِن حِلٍّ بِهِ وَحَرامِ

They defended all between Egypt and Dhu al-Qura,

They prevented what is between Egypt and the sacred place,

as far as al-Sham, the profane and sacred there,

To Al-Sham from permitted and forbidden.

بِضَربٍ يُزيلُ الهامَ عَن سَكَناتِهِ

بِضَربٍ يُزيلُ الهامَ عَن سَكَناتِهِ

وَطَعنٍ كَإيزاعِ المَخاضِ تُؤامِ

وَطَعنٍ كَإيزاعِ المَخاضِ تُؤامِ

with blows that wrench heads from their resting places,

With a strike that removes anxiety from its dwellings,

and paired spear-thrusts, like pregnant she-camels spurting urine.

And a stab like the pain of childbirth.

إِذا قَصَّرَت يَوماً أَكُفُّ قَبيلَةٍ

إِذا قَصَّرَت يَوماً أَكُفُّ قَبيلَةٍ

عَنِ المَجدِ نالَتهُ أَكُفُّ جُذامِ

عَنِ المَجدِ نالَتهُ أَكُفُّ جُذامِ

If one day a tribe's hands fall short

If one day a tribe falls short,

of glory, the hands of Judham attain it.

Of glory, the palms of Judham attain it.
