مُستَضحِكٌ بِلَوامِعٍ مُستَعبِرٌ

بِدَوامِعٍ لَم تَمرِها الأَقذاءُ

Smiling with radiant flashes, frowning

With tears the hungry wolves have never known

لَو كانَ في لُجَجِ السَواحِلِ ماؤهُ

لَم يَبقَ في لُجَجِ السَواحِلِ ماءُ

If in the rugged shores his tears were found

No water in those rugged shores is found
