Where is its glory and distinction?
١. تُهدِّدُني بتَصارِيفها
فأينَ المَعالي وفُرقانُها
2. Its ease has not ceased to be its clouds
Sprinkling over the ages its deviations.

4. You see it resisting me after this
When it has grown great and its affair is exalted.
٤. تُراها تُقاومُني بَعدَ ذا

5. O Abu Nasr, attain victory with a victory, for
