يا يافع اليوم نبكي رجالٍ ما يعودون
O Yafea, today we mourn men who will not return
أهل الوفا والمراجل والقلوب اللي يصونون
Ahl al-wafā wa-l-marājil wa-l-qulūb allatī yaṣūnūn
People of loyalty and chivalry, and hearts that protect
راحوا وخلّوا على روس الجبال علوم
They left, leaving stories on the mountain peaks
وأصبح زمان الوفا من بعدهم كله هموم
And the time of loyalty, after them, became full of worries
يا ليت وقت الزمن يرجع ولو ساعة زمان
Oh, if only time could turn back, even for an hour
ونسمع كلام العقل من أهل الوفا والشان
And we hear the words of wisdom from the people of loyalty and high standing

Lines explained
“يا يافع اليوم نبكي رجالٍ ما يعودون”
O Yafea, today we mourn men who will not return
Yafea (يافع) is a historical region in Yemen, known for its strong tribal traditions and mountainous terrain. Addressing 'Yafea' directly personifies the land and its people, emphasizing a collective sense of loss.
“راحوا وخلّوا على روس الجبال علوم”
They left, leaving stories on the mountain peaks
Leaving 'stories on the mountain peaks' is a poetic image suggesting that the deeds and legacy of these men are as enduring and prominent as the mountains themselves, visible and remembered by all.
“وأصبح زمان الوفا من بعدهم كله هموم”
And the time of loyalty, after them, became full of worries
This line expresses a common lament in many cultures where the passing of respected elders is seen as a decline in societal values, with the 'time of loyalty' being replaced by 'worries' due to their absence.
