1. ولا تحسب الإنسان إلا سلالة

    لقردين عافا الغاب لما تضجرا

    And regard the human being as nothing but the offspring

    Of two apes who shunned the forest when they grew weary.

  2. ولم يتحسن طوره لتنازع

    ولكن حياة القرد رامت تطورا

    Nor did his condition improve through struggle,

    But the ape’s life sought evolution.
