مَا لِلنِّيَاقِ إِذَا حَدَا جَمَّالُهَا

مَا لِلنِّيَاقِ إِذَا حَدَا جَمَّالُهَاتَدَعُ الْعَنَاءَ وَلَا تَمَلُّ مَلَالَهَا

Mā lilnniyāqi idhā ḥadā jammāluhā, Tadaʿu al-ʿanāʾa walā tamallu malālahā

What is it with the camels, when their driver sings, that they forget their toil and never weary?

وَتَرَىٰ لَهَا فِي السَّيْرِ جِدًّا وَاضِحًاشَوْقًا تَمُدُّ يَمِينَهَا وَشِمَالَهَا

Watarā lahā fī as-sayri jiddan wāḍiḥan, Shawqan tamuddu yamīnahā washimālahā

You see in them a clear earnestness on the journey, stretching out their right and their left in longing.

وَتَبَاشَرَتْ لَمَّا أَتَتْ بَدْرًا رَأَتْنُورَ النَّبِيِّ الْهَاشِمِيِّ بَدَا لَهَا

Watabāsharat lammā atat badran raʾat, Nūra an-nabiyyi al-hāshimiyyi badā lahā

They rejoiced when they came to Badr and saw the light of the Hashimite Prophet appear before them.

غَنِّ لَهَا يَا سَعْدُ بِاسْمِ مُحَمَّدٍفَلَعَلَّهَا تُصْغِي لِمَنْ غَنَّىٰ لَهَا

Ghanni lahā yā saʿdu bismi muḥammadin, Falaʿallahā tuṣghī liman ghannā lahā

Sing to them, O Sa'd, the name of Muhammad; perhaps they will listen to the one who sings to them.
