1. He grew weary of dreams, lies and hypocrisy
So he raced with yearning to God eagerly
١. سئم الأحلامَ كَذْباً ونفاقا
فامتطى الشوقَ إلى الله سباقا
2. His pride was never bowed down in grief
As he rose to the sun seeking freedom and glee
٢. ما انحنت هامتُهُ مسكنةً
واستقلَّ الشمسَ سعياً وانطلاقا
3. When his sides bent down to
The fragrance of soil, he refused life in ennui
٣. حينما حنَّتْ حناياه إلى
عَبَقِ التُربْ أبى العيشَ وضاقا
4. He saddled his soul to its Creator
With offerings, then purified it longingly
٤. أسرجَ النَّفس إلى بارئها
قُرُباتٍ ثُمَّ زكَّاها اشتياقا
