بَينَ عَزمي وَبَينَهُنَّ حُروبُ

إِنَّ أَقواهُما هُوَ المَغلوبُ

Between my determination and them are battles

Indeed, the strongest of the two is the defeated one

عَرَضَت رِحلَةٌ فَعَرَّضَ بِالدَم

عِ فَهانَ المَأمولُ وَالمَطلوبُ

A journey was offered, so I bid farewell with tears

Alas, the hoped-for and sought-after is now of little worth
