1. رأيتَ على أكوارنا كلَّ ماجدٍ

    يرى كلَّ ما يفنى من المال مغنما

    You saw upon our camel saddles every noble man,

    Who regards all wealth spent as gain.

  2. نُدوِّمُ أسيافاً ونعلو قواضباً

    وننقضُّ عقباناً ونطلعُ أنجما

    We wheel as swords and rise as cleaving blades,

    And swoop as eagles and rise as stars.
