قالَ الأَقارِبُ لا تَغرُركَ كَثرَتُنا

قالَ الأَقارِبُ لا تَغرُركَ كَثرَتُنا

وَأَغنِ شَأنَكَ عَنّا أَيُّها الرَجُلُ

وَأَغنِ شَأنَكَ عَنّا أَيُّها الرَجُلُ

The kinsmen said, “Do not let our numbers deceive you,

The relatives said: "Don't be deceived by our great number,

And manage your affairs without us, O man.”

And make yourself self-sufficient, O man!

عَلَّ بَنِيَّ يَشُدُّ اللَهُ أَزرَهُمُ

عَلَّ بَنِيَّ يَشُدُّ اللَهُ أَزرَهُمُ

وَالنَبعُ يَنبُتُ عيداناً فَيَكتَهِلُ

وَالنَبعُ يَنبُتُ عيداناً فَيَكتَهِلُ

Perhaps God will strengthen my sons’ backs;

May God strengthen my sons,

And the nabʿ tree sprouts as shoots, then matures.

And the spring grow reeds until they flourish."
