1. You will break your world if you try to serve it
Beware of hope, it is not to be called from uncertainties
١. عَقَقتَ دُنياكَ إِن حاوَلتَ خِدمَتَها
إِيّاكَ وَالأُمَّ لا تُدعى مِنَ الآمِ
2. And under your feet lies a scattered dust
Whither you went with perspiration and determination
٢. وَتَحتَ رِجلِكَ مِنها مَفرِقٌ تَرِبٌ
أَنّى اِتَّجَهتَ بِإِعراقٍ وَإِشآمِ
3. Name me a mother of ruins, not taken care of
And your family augmented my weakness and leanness
٣. أَسِمتِني أُمَّ دِفرٍ غَيرِ مُرعِيَةٍ
وَزادَ أَهلُكِ إِعناتي وَإِسآمي
