1. إلى كم تغضّون مِن قَدرنا

    وكم تَجهلُونَ وكَم نَحْلَمُ

    How long will you belittle our worth?

    And how often you act foolishly, and how often we show forbearance!

  2. وكم ذَا تهينونَ أعراضنا

    ونحنُ لأَعْراضِكم نكْرِم

    And how often you insult our honor,

    while we show respect for yours!
