1. حَرَّرتُ ما يَبقى مِنَ ال

    عُمرِ الدَريسِ عَلى الدِراسَه

    I have devoted what remains of the

    Worn-out life to study,

  2. في كُلِّ علمٍ فاضِلٍ

    لا في اليَتيمَةِ وَالحَماسَه

    In every noble branch of knowledge,

    Not in al-Yatīmah and al-Ḥamāsah.

  3. أَرجو بِذاكَ الفَوزَ لا

    طُرقَ المجانَةِ وَالكِياسَه

    Through that I hope for success, not

    The paths of licentiousness and cleverness.
