1. Why do you wonder at the matter
You see no escape from it
١. عَلامَ تَستَصعِبُ الأَمرَ
لا تَرى مِنهُ بُدّا
2. Take the initiative and abandon distraction
And devote yourself completely
٢. بادِر وَخَلِّ الهُوَينى
وَجِدَّ كيما تُجَدّا
3. For you will never find success
Until you find hardship
٣. فَلَن تُلاقِيَ جَدّاَ
حَتّى تُلاقِيَ كَدّا
