1. Though we unveil the veils we yet will find
A dove with waterfowl in peace entwined
١. وإِنْ بَدَتْ السُّتُورُ لَنا رَأَيْنا
بُزَاةً قَدْ قُرِنَّ بِطَيْرِ ماءِ
2. And lions in their dens with deer abide
As equals, free of rage and tyranny
٢. وأُسْداً في مَرابِضِها ظِباءٌ
تُقابِلُها على حَالِ اسْتِواءِ
3. Not this one preys on that, nor that takes fright
Of this one's wrong and boastful tyranny
٣. فَلا هَذا يُرَاعُ لِذا وَلا ذا
يُرَوِّعُ ذا بِجَوْرٍ وَاعْتِداءِ
4. As though the land's Mecca, and peace prevails
For beasts of blood and savage cruelty
٤. كَأَنَّ الدّارَ مَكَّةُ وهي أَمْنٌ
لِتِلْكَ الوَحْشِ من سَفْكِ الدِّماءِ
