1. My hope since it strove for the paths of glory
Zeal and singing were its guide
١. أمَلِي مُذ سَعى لِطُرْقِ المَعالي
وله الحِرْصُ والغَناءُ دَلِيلُ
2. Despair said to it: Rest, for these are paths
Where the virtuous have no access
٢. قال يَأْسِي له اسْتَرِحْ فهْي طُرْقٌ
ما على المُحْسِنين فيها سَبِيلُ
