مُحاباةُ دَهرِكَ لا

عَلى أَنَّ جُرمَكَ لَم يُنسِهِ

The favor of fate is not

Though your crime is unforgotten

يُضيعُ لِخَنصَرِهِ خاتَماً

وَيَحفَظُ تاجاً عَلى رَأسِهِ

It will lose a ring for its pinky

And keep a crown on its head

وَغُصنُكَ بِغَرسِهِ في الثَرى

لِتَجتَني الأَجرَ مِن غَرسِهِ

While your branch takes root in the soil

To reap the fruit of its planting
