1. Hasten, you who seek the heights, through every valley
Heedless of the pain each path may bring.
١. أَسرعْ وَسِر طالب المَعالي
بِكُلِّ وادٍ وكُلّ مَهْمَهْ
2. Though the ignorant chide and censure you,
Say to them: avaunt! It matters not.
٢. وَإِنْ لَحَى عاذِلٌ جَهولٌ
فَقُلْ له يا عذولُ مَهْ مَهْ
