بنات الدّهر لا يَخشين محلاً

إِذا لم تبقَ سائمة يَقينا

Daughters of fate fear no refuge

When the everlasting oasis remains no more

خرقن الارض عن امواج بحرٍ

طلبن معينَهُ حتى رَوينا

They tore through earth in waves seeking

Its spring until we were quenched

كأن رؤوسَهنّ بيوم ريحٍ

ضرائر بالذوائب ينتصينا

As though their locks in a windy day

Were shawls blown as they walked
