1. Oh brother, have you made the burden lighter
While my resolve was too weak for it?
١. أَأَخَيَّ هَوَّنتَ الحِما
مَ وَكانَ يَضعُفُ عَنهُ عَزمي
2. Why shouldn't I make it lighter when
I have put my soul before my body?
٢. لِمَ لا أُهَوِّنُهُ وَقَد
قَدَّمتُ روحِيَ قَبلَ جِسمي
3. The world is not sated nor
Quenched but by my blood and flesh
٣. ما تَشبَعُ الدُنيا وَلا
تُروى بِغَيرِ دَمي وَلَحمي
