تَرَقّى عَلى روسِ الرِجالِ وَيخطُبُ
I see the inexperienced man in this world, if he has merit,
I see the free man in life when he is virtuous
rise above the heads of men and deliver speeches.
Ascend above men's heads and make speeches
وَإِنand if كانَhe is مِثليlike me لاno فَضيلَةَmerit عِندَهُin his possession
وَإِن كانَ مِثلي لا فَضيلَةَ عِندَهُ

يُقاسُ بِطِفلٍ في الشَوارِعِ يَلعَبُ
And if he is like me, possessing no merit,
And if he is like me with no virtues
he is compared to a child playing in the streets.
He is equated with a child playing in the streets
