1. My soul yearns, though little I reveal
What good and ill to people may befall
١. لَهفَ نَفسي وَقَليلٍ ما أُسِرُّ
ما أَصابَ الناسُ مِن خَيرٍ وَشَرِّ
2. Through time I've never sought to make them kneel
Though they in evil deeds stand straight and tall
٢. لَم أَرِد في الدَهرِ يَوماً حَربَهُم
وَهُمُ الساعونَ في الشَرِ الشِمِرِّ
