1. أَنتَ بالامس كنت غلا بكف ال

    امس واليَوم هَكَذا لَن تُزالا

    Yesterday you were a shackle in the hand of yester—

    —day; and today you remain thus—you will not cease to be.

  2. فَليَكن للغد القَريب ابنك النا

    ر تذيب الحَديد والاغلالا

    Then let your son, for the near tomorrow, be the fi—

    —re that melts iron and shackles.
