الشُهُبُ عَظَّمَها المَليكُ وَنَصَّها

لِلعالَمينَ فَواجِبٌ إِعظامُها

The meteors, glorified by the King and supported

For all worlds, so glorifying them is obligatory

وَأَرى الحَياةَ وَإِنّ لَهَجَت بِحُبِّها

كَالسِلكِ طَوَّقَكَ الأَذاةَ نِظامُها

And I see life, though it sings passionately of its love

Like a chain that surrounds you, its system brings suffering
