اللَهُ يَحفَظُ لا الحِراسَه

وَلَرُبَّما تُخطي الفِراسَه

God protects, not guards

And perhaps foresight fails

طَلَبُ الرِئاسَةِ ما عَلِم

تَ تَفاقَمَت فيهِ النَفاسَه

Seeking leadership, you knew not

How vanity in it grows

وَالناسُ يَخبِطُ بَعضُهُم

بَعضاً عَلى طَلَبِ الرِئاسَه

People stumble over each other

Seeking leadership
