ما دامَ في الإنسانِ روحٌ

ما دامَ في الإنسانِ روحٌ

يبلغُ الدنيا أمانيهِ

يبلغُ الدنيا أمانيهِ

As long as a soul remains in a person,

As long as the human spirit exists

He can attain his wishes in this world.

It can achieve its hopes in this life

فلا تهينَنَّ صغيراً فقدْ

فلا تهينَنَّ صغيراً فقدْ

يحطُّكَ الدهرُ ويعليه

يحطُّكَ الدهرُ ويعليه

So never belittle someone lowly, for

So never scorn the weak

Time may bring you low and raise him up.

For time may raise them and humble you
