وَأَنتُمُ أُناسٌ تَقمُصونَ مِنَ القَنا

وَأَنتُمُ أُناسٌ تَقمُصونَ مِنَ القَنا

إِذا ما رَقى أَكتافَكُم وَتَأَطَّرا

إِذا ما رَقى أَكتافَكُم وَتَأَطَّرا

And you are folk who leap away from spears,

You are people donning robes of arrogance

When they mount your shoulders and bend.

When your shoulders are too feeble to bear them
