1. We have gifts which their knots were tied
With generosity, and their guide is haste,
١. لَنا العَطايا الَّتي قُدَّت أَزِمَّتُها
مِنَ المَكارِمِ وَالتَعجيلُ سائِقُها
2. And if the chessboard of battle was set up against us
Its drizzle and our enemies are itsawns,
٢. وَنَحنُ إِن نُصِبَت شِطرَنجُ مَعرَكَةٍ
رِخاخُها وَأَعادينا بَياذُقُها
3. A people whose gifts are their sunsets
In the hands of the chaste, and their hands are its dawns.
٣. قَومٌ نُجومٌ عَطاياهُم مَغارِبُها
أَيدي العُفاةِ وَأَيديهِم مَشارِقُها
