مَازِلْتُ رَطْبَ لِسَانٍ

مَازِلْتُ رَطْبَ لِسَانٍ

بِشُكْرِ أَهْلِ الزَّمانِ

بِشُكْرِ أَهْلِ الزَّمانِ

My tongue has stayed moist

with thanks to the people of this age.

وَلِلسِّراجِ بَقَاءٌ

وَلِلسِّراجِ بَقَاءٌ

مَادامَ رَطْبَ اللِّسانِ

مَادامَ رَطْبَ اللِّسانِ

And al-Siraj—the lamp—lives on

as long as his tongue stays moist.
