ألا في دماهمُ الولاءُ لكلِّ ما

ألا في دماهمُ الولاءُ لكلِّ ما

خلا اللهَ مُذ على البسيطةِ سالوا

خلا اللهَ مُذ على البسيطةِ سالوا

Behold, in their blood is loyalty to everything

Behold, in their blood, allegiance to all but God

Except God, ever since they flowed over the earth.

Since they spilled it on the plain

بقدرِ بياضِ زيّهم في قلوبهمْ

بقدرِ بياضِ زيّهم في قلوبهمْ

سوادٌ كقلبِ منْ لدينهِ مالوا

سوادٌ كقلبِ منْ لدينهِ مالوا

In proportion to the whiteness of their garb, within their hearts

As white as their raiment in their hearts

Lies blackness like the heart of him to whose faith they turned.

Darkness, like the heart of one who has strayed from his faith
