عَدِمْتَ حَمِيَّةً وَسَقِمْتَ وُدَّاً

عَدِمْتَ حَمِيَّةً وَسَقِمْتَ وُدَّاً

فَلَمْ تُدْرِكْ لِمَكْرُمَةٍ نَصِيبَا

فَلَمْ تُدْرِكْ لِمَكْرُمَةٍ نَصِيبَا

You lacked zeal, and your affection was ailing.

You lacked fervor and became ill with love

So you gained no share in any noble deed.

So you obtained no share of honor

فَمَا أَحْزَنْتَ في حَرْبٍ عَدُوَّاً

فَمَا أَحْزَنْتَ في حَرْبٍ عَدُوَّاً

وَلا أَفْرَحْتَ فِي سِلْمٍ حَبِيبَا

وَلا أَفْرَحْتَ فِي سِلْمٍ حَبِيبَا

So you saddened no enemy in war,

Thus you saddened no foe in war

Nor did you gladden a loved one in peace.

Nor gladdened a friend in peace
