الحمدُ لله كَمْ أسْمُو بِعزميَ فِي

نَيْل العُلاَ وَقَضاءُ الله ينْكسُه

Praise be to God, how I climb with determination

To reach glory, yet God's decree casts me back down

كَأَنَّني البَدْرُ يبغى الشرقَ والفلكُ ال

أعلى يعارضُ مسراه فيعكسه

As though I were the moon pursuing dawn in the east

While the highest heavens thwart its course, reversing it
