1. Draw your sword if you wish for the flag to flutter
Do not seek from the shepherd to plunge into darkness
١. شِم سَيفَك إِن أَرَدتَ خَفقَ العَلَمِ
لا تَبغِ مِن اليَراع خَوضَ الظُلَمِ
2. How often to the deer were returned cheeks that laughed
Mocking the blackness of the face of the pen
٢. كَم وُرِّدَ لِلظُبى خُدودٌ ضَحِكَت
تَستَهزئُ مِن سَوادِ وَجهِ القَلَمِ
