1. My people have endured a separation in two,
One part Iraqi, the other with a pregnant belly,
١. تَحَمَّل قَومي فِرقَتَينِ فَمِنهُما
عِراقَيَّةٌ مِن دونِها بَطنُ حامِرِ
2. By what I have seen of them, a harvest adorned
With the flag of boredom and armor of patience.
٢. بِما قَد أَرى مِنهُم حَصيدا مُكَلَّلاّ
بِحَيِّ مَلالِ ذي دُروءٍ وَسامِرِ
