1. في هُجْرَةٍ لاَ أُنْسَ فِيهَا

    لِلْغَرِيبِ وَلاَ صَفَاءْ

    In exile, where there is no solace

    For the stranger, nor serenity,

  2. تَتَقَاذَفُ الآفَاقُ بِي

    قَذْقَ العَوَاطِفِ لِلْهِبَاءْ

    The horizons toss me about

    As passions fling dust,

  3. وَتُحيطُ بِي لُجَجُ الصَّرُوفِ

    فَمِنْ بَلاَءٍ فِي بَلاَءْ

    And the deep seas of adversity surround me—

    So, from affliction into affliction.
