قُل للبهاءِ يُطِلْ مِطالي جاهداً

وَيَصُدُّني مَهما أستطاعَ وَيَنْحس

Say to the brilliance 'linger forth my days though you resist me howsoever you are able, and though I fail to capture you, my efforts shall not have been in vain, for Glory is beyond all capture.

فلأحبسنه متى ظَفرُت بحَبْسه

جَهدي وإنْ كانَ الخرا لا يُحبَسُ
