شَكْواكَ مِن أَلَمِ المَفاصِلِ لِلّذِي

حَمَّلتَها لِلمَجدِ من أَعْباءِ

Your complaints of aching joints to the one

Whom you have burdened with glory's load

تَقِفُ البِحارُ ولَمْ تَقِفْ فارفِقْ بِها

أَو لَمْ تَكُنْ عُضْواً مِن الأَعضاءِ

The seas stand still, yet you do not - go gently on them

Were you not a part of the whole?
