1. هَذا غُرابُ دُجاكَ يَنعَبُ فَاِزجُرِ

    وَعُبابُ لَيلِكَ قَد تَلاطَمَ فَاِعبُرِ

    This raven of your darkness caws—so drive it off.

    And your night's billows have clashed—so cross over.

  2. وَاِستَفَّ في نُطَفِ النُجومِ عَلى السُرى

    وَاِلتَفَّ في وَرَقِ الظَلامِ الأَخضَرِ

    And array yourself in the stars' pearls as you journey by night,

    And wrap yourself in the green foliage of darkness.

  3. وَاِلبَس رِداءَ السَيفِ وَهوَ مُطَرَّزٌ

    تَحتَ العَجاجَةِ بِالنَجيعِ الأَحمَرِ

    And don the sword's mantle, embroidered

    Beneath the dust cloud with crimson blood.

  4. وَاِرمِ الكَريهَةَ بِالكَريمَةِ وَاِرتَشِف

    صَفوَ الحَياةِ مِنَ العَجاجِ الأَكدَرِ

    And hurl your noble soul into battle, and sip

    The pure essence of life from the murky dust.
