1. I wear the cloak of poverty, yet
I will not wear the tattered robe of brotherhood
١. قَد أَلبَسُ العَيشَ ذا الرِقاعِ وَلا
أَلبَسُ ثَوبَ الإِخاءِ مُنخَرِقا
2. I have become like a mirage that draws near, yet
There is nothing, though it flutters from afar
٢. أَصبَحتُ مِثلَ السَرابِ يَدنو فَلا
يوجَدُ شَيئاً وَإِن نَأى خَفَقا
