1. They said, "Set sail upon the sea to attain your wishes"
But I, being a man of reason, responded,
١. قالوا اِركبِ البحر لِنَيل المُنى
فَقُلت قول الرَجُل العاقِلِ
2. "I will not ride the sea, rather
I will seek God's bounty along the coast"
٢. لا أَركَب البَحر وَلَكنَّني
أَطلب رزق اللَه في الساحلِ
