My wealth is the richness of my soul and contentment,

غناي غنى نفسي ومالي قناعتي

1. My wealth is the richness of my soul and contentment,
My treasure is my morals, my attire is my chastity.

١. غِنايَ غِنى نَفسي وَمالِي قَناعَتي
وَكَنزِيَ آدابي وَزِيّي عَفافِيا

2. My pride is my Islam, my provision is my honesty,
My army is my poetry, my sword is my tongue.

٢. وَفَخرِيَ إِسلامي وَذُخري أَمانَتي
وَجُندِيَ أَشعاري وَسَيفي لِسانِيا

3. I have resolves like shining blades,
Whenever difficulties arise and calamities strike,

٣. وَلي عَزَماتٌ كَالسُيوفِ قَواضِباً
إِذا عَنَّ خَطبٌ وَالحُتوفُ قَواضِيا

4. And they cover the breasts of the helpless,
As the summit's afterglow covered the towering mountains.

٤. وَتَغشى صُدورَ النائِباتِ صُدورُها
كَما غِشِيَت سُمرُ العَوالي التَراقِيا

5. Beware, do not blame fate if you are incapable,
Nor rebuke destiny if you are frail.

٥. أَلا لا يَذُمَّ الدَهرَ مَن كانَ عاجِزاً
وَلا يَعذِلِ الأَقدارَ مَن كانَ وانِيا

6. He whose soul does not spur him to glory,
Is unworthy to attain glorious heights.

٦. فَمَن لَم تُبَلِّغهُ المَعالِيَ نَفسُهُ
فَغَيرُ جَديرٍ أَن يَنالَ المَعالِيا
