صَحَوتَ وَأَوقَدتَ لِلجَهلِ ناراً

وَرَدَّ عَلَيكَ الصِبا ما اِستَعارا

You woke and lit a fire for ignorance

And youth returned to you what it had borrowed

وَأَصبَحتَ بَسلا عَلى كاعِبٍ

أَشارَت بِكَفٍّ وَهَزَّت سِوارا

And you became a hero to a slanderer

Who gestured with a palm and shook her bracelets
