نَهَضْتُمْ بها جمعيةً يُرْتَجَى بها

هدى كَتْلةٍ فيما تُحاولُ خابطَهُ

You have embarked upon it as one body hoping for guidance

To lead a mass of people in what they are attempting blindly

عسى أن تُنيروا للشبابِ طريقَهمْ

وأنْ تُنْعِشوا روحاً من اليأس قانطه

Perhaps you will illuminate the path for the youth

And revive a soul hopeless and despondent

إذا فَشِلَتْ كلُّ الروابطِ بيننا

فرابطةُ الآدابِ أمتنُ رابطه

If all the ties between us fail

The bond of literature is the strongest bond
