1. Take my heritage without account
And all that my satchel has contained

2. Take my refinements, take my wit
Take my essence, take my core

3. Take my ewers of Khndrys
Take my cups, take my drink

4. Take my poems, take my pastorals
Take my knowledge, take my book

5. Take my talents, take my genius
Take my guidance, take my right

6. Take, take my fame through the lands
And what follows fame of strife

7. And in ‘Ayadh for all this
Give back my youth, give back my youth
