1. As though kings defeated are to you subdued,
Like frightened birds that from the falcon flee.
١. كَأَنَّ المُلوكَ الغُلبَ عِندَكَ خُضَّعاً
خَواضِعُ طَيرٍ تَتَّقي الصَقرَ لِبَّدُ
2. Among them wielding wisely your control,
You humble some, while others you exalt.
٢. تُقَلِّبُ فيهِم مُقلَةً حَكَمَيَّةً
فَتَخفِضُ أَقواماً وَقَوماً تَسَوَّدُ
