1. أَعشُقُ الصَدقَ لا أَقولُ سِوى الحَ

    قّ وَلَو جارَ في الحَياةِ عَلَيّا

    I adore honesty; I speak nothing but the truth,

    Even if it wrongs me in life.

  2. في فُؤادي القَوِيِّ روحُ إِلهٍ

    وَلَوَ أَنّي وُلِدتُ مِن أَبَوَيّا

    In my strong heart dwells the spirit of a god,

    Even though I was born of my parents.

  3. فَالسَماءُ الَّتي أَنارَت شَبابي

    وَضَعَت مُهجَتي عَلى شَفَتَيّا

    For heaven, which illuminated my youth,

    Placed my soul upon my lips.
