يا أَيُّها البَطَلُ الذي

يا أَيُّها البَطَلُ الذي

في الحرب عن كَلَل تَنزَّه

في الحرب عن كَلَل تَنزَّه

O you hero who

O you, the hero who

in war kept himself free of weariness,

In battle is above fatigue,

ما مثلُ قولكَ يا لِغا

ما مثلُ قولكَ يا لِغا

وفي التحاجي صانَ عجزَه

وفي التحاجي صانَ عجزَه

what is like your saying, O Ligha [unclear address]?

None can match your eloquence,

And in riddling he guarded his rear.

And in debate guarded his frailty.
