1. When will your shoulders cease to bear their burden as captives do?
Your steps have woven for you this long chain of patience.
١. اَفِرنُ مَتَى تُسجَر ضِرَاماً مَنَاكِبُك
لَقَد نَسَجَت عَلَيكِ قِدماً عَنَاكِبُك
2. Though you were summoned from a perfumed place to this prison,
Yet you have returned as noble as you ever were; your spirit unbroken.
٢. وحُيِيت مِنَ غَادٍ إِلَيكِ ورَائِحٍ
وعُدتِ كَمَا قَد كُنتِ إِنَّ ورَاكِبُك
