1. بِأَبي وَأُمّي أَنتَ ما أَندى يَداً

    وَأَبَرَّ ميثاقاً وَما أَزكاكا

    May my father and mother be your ransom—how generous your hand!

    And how faithful in covenant, and how pure you are!

  2. وَاللَهِ لَو لَم يَعقِدوا لَكَ عَهدَها

    أَعيا البَرِيَّةَ أَن تُصيبَ سِواكا

    By God, had they not pledged its covenant to you,

    It would have been beyond mankind's power to make it fall to anyone but you.

  3. يَغدو عَدُوُّكَ خائِفاً فَإِذا رَأى

    أَن قَد قَدِرتَ عَلى العِقابِ رَجاكا

    Your enemy goes forth afraid; then, when he sees

    That you have the power to punish, he puts his hope in you.
