1. He who has support can escape his darkness
But the lowly one with no helpers
١. مَن كانَ ذا عَضُدٍ يُدرِكْ ضُلامَتَهُ
إِنَّ الذَليلَ الَّذي لَيسَت لَهُ عَضُدُ
2. His hands flail when his supporters grow few
And disdains to be helped or pitied
٢. تَنبو يَداهُ إِذا ما قَلَّ ناصِرُه
وَيَأنَفُ الضيمَ أَن أَثرى لَهُ عَدَدُ
