1. The peoples of the East have abandoned
The pursuit of glories and prides

2. So they weakened and in the law of equality
The free person who has weakened is undoubtedly a loser

3. The peoples walk towards their purpose
While the people of the Nile are the last

4. How many youths in concealment
Are regretful and how many in Damascus are capable

5. But they were not granted
Opinion and they did not want risks

6. This one flies with fantasies
And that one improvises jokes

7. They ignored life and what life is
Except for the tireless risk-taker

8. Who traverses the widths of seas
And mounts the backs of ships

9. He consults no one except ambition
In resources and means

10. He tosses his soul behind fortunes
The toss of a gambler

11. Nothing guided the determination of the capable
In Egypt except the words of the early riser

12. How much do we postpone until tomorrow
And tomorrow is the fate of today coming

13. The homelands have become desolate, no farming
No economy, and no treasures

14. Leave what makes it frown
And what pulls from crimes

15. In thrift is our life
And continuity despite the stubborn

16. With it industries and farms flourish among us
And trade

17. Ask about it with wisdom, for this
Is wisdom present in the whole

18. He revived industry and trade
As he revived consciences
