1. I say my children though they are not
The equals of the great departed ones
١. أَقُولُ أَوْلاَدِي وَمَا ذَلِكُمْ
لأَنَّهُمْ ليْسُوا بِجِدِّ الْكِبَارِ
2. Yet crowns become the little gems which grace
The splendid greatness they encase
٢. لَكِنَّما التَّاجُ عَلَى مَا بِه
مِنْ عِظَمٍ تَعْلُوهُ دُرٌّ صِغَارْ
