اسد ينام على الصعيد سويكتا

اسد ينام على الصعيد سويكتا

وكلاب وجرة تستزيد نباحها

وكلاب وجرة تستزيد نباحها

A lion sleeps quietly upon the ground,

The lion sleeps on the ground quietly

And the dogs of Wajra keep increasing their barking.

While the dogs and jars increase their barking

فمتى استفز وقام بزأر انبرت

فمتى استفز وقام بزأر انبرت

سود الكلاب فما سمعت صياحها

سود الكلاب فما سمعت صياحها

So whenever he is roused and rises with a roar, they dart away—

So when he was provoked and stood with a roar

The black dogs—and you hear their cries no more.

The dogs fled and I did not hear their screaming

وتوسدت في كل جرف حفرة

وتوسدت في كل جرف حفرة

بالذل ترجف ليلها وصباحها

بالذل ترجف ليلها وصباحها

And in every bank they take a hollow as their pillow,

And dug in every cliff a hole

Trembling in humiliation through their night and morning.

With humiliation trembling night and morning
