قد علونا على الكَفَلْ

واسترحنا من الخجلْ

We have risen above the shoulder,

And rested from shame.

لم يزل في تمنع

وإياء ولم أزلْ

He has not ceased being aloof

And averse, and I have not ceased

فبلغتُ الذي بلغت

به غايةَ الأملْ

So I have attained what I attained

With it, the utmost of hope.
