1. قبحَ الإله عصابةً ما فيهمِ

    يقظٌ يبيّض أوجه الآمالِ

    May God disfigure a gang who has none

    Awake brightening the faces of hopes

  2. نامت عيونهمُ لنوم قلوبهم

    فبياضُ صبحهمِ سواد ليالي

    Their eyes slept due to the sleep of their hearts

    So the whiteness of their dawn is the blackness of nights

  3. لاتطمعنْ ما عشت في لقياهمُ

    إلاّ إذا ما كنتَ طيفَ خيال

    Do not hope as long as you live to meet them

    Unless you are a specter of imagination
