أما أنا فاود لو أن الورى
طرا حذوا حذوى وساروا سيرتي
As for me, I wish that all mankind
One and all would follow my example and walk my path.
عفت الحماية بعد ان خولتها
وتخذت دأبا لي خلوص سريرتي
I spurned protection after it had been conferred on me,
And made the purity of my inmost heart my constant practice.
ولزمت حد السلم مغتبطا به
فامنت من شكوى عداي وجيرتي
I held to the bounds of peace, rejoicing in it,
And so was safe from complaint by my foes and neighbors.
