كُن مِثلَ يوسُفَ لَمّا كادَ إِخوَتُهُ

سَلَّ الضَغائِنَ حَتّى ماتَتِ الحِقَدُ

Be like Joseph when his brothers nearly

Let loose their grudges until hatred died

وَكَيفَ تَرمي بِقَوسٍ لا تُوَتِّرُها

إِذا المُلوكُ رَمَوا وَاِستَهدَفَ النَضَدُ

How can you shoot an arrow without tightening the bow

When kings have shot and targeted the target

أَلا تَرى لَهُمُ في مُلكِهِم عَلَماً

وَلا تَرى عَلَماً إِلّا لَهُ سَنَدُ

Do you not see for them in their kingdom a banner

And you do not see a banner but for Him a support
