1. I will implore the days until they return me
To a side of them that softens and makes easy
١. سَأَستَعطِفُ الأَيّامَ حَتّى تَرُدَّني
إِلى جانِبٍ مِنها يَلينُ وَيَسهُلُ
2. And I will be content not that contentment enriches me
But that guarding honor with freedom is more beautiful
٢. وَأَقنَعُ لا أَنَّ القَناعَةَ لي غِنىً
وَلَكِنَّ صَونَ العِرضِ بِالحُرِّ أَجمَلُ
