1. Praise be to God, how I climb with determination
To reach glory, yet God's decree casts me back down
١. الحمدُ لله كَمْ أسْمُو بِعزميَ فِي
نَيْل العُلاَ وَقَضاءُ الله ينْكسُه
2. As though I were the moon pursuing dawn in the east
While the highest heavens thwart its course, reversing it
٢. كَأَنَّني البَدْرُ يبغى الشرقَ والفلكُ ال
أعلى يعارضُ مسراه فيعكسه
