نَفْسي فِداؤُكَ هادياً

تُهدَى بها عُصَبُ الرِّفاقِ

My soul is your ransom, O guide

By which the comrades' allegiance is guided

كالبدرِ يُحسَبُ في التَّمَا

مِ وقد تَرَفَّعَ بالمَحاقِ

Like the full moon it is considered in the dark night

And it rose high above the horizons

أوفَىعلى طُرُقٍ أقا

مَ فَليسَ يُؤذَنُ بانطِلاقِ

It fulfilled over roads I walked

So there is no permission for departure

مُتوشِّحاً فيه دماً

كَحمائلِ البِيْضِ الرِّقاقِ

Wearing blood on it

Like the carriers of the fragile eggs

ومضارِعُ الجَوْزَاءِ لي

لاً في عُلوِّ واتِّساقِ

And it competes with the beautiful women for me

Rising in elevation and harmony

فكأنَّه وكأنَّها

إلفانِ هَمَّا باعتِناقِ

So it is as if it and as if she

Were two intimates who cared to embrace
