أَلا لا أُبالي في العُلى ما أَصابَني
وَإِن نَقِبَت نَعلايَ أَو حَفِيَت رِجلي
Behold, I care not what befalls me in pursuit of greatness,
even if my sandals wear through or my foot is worn raw.
فَلَم تَرَ عَيني قَطُّ أَحسَنَ مَنظَراً
مِنَ النَكبِ يَدمى في المُواساةِ وَالبَذلِ
For never has my eye seen a finer sight
than a wound bleeding for the sake of helping others and giving.
وَلَستُ أُبالي مَن تَأَوَّبَ مَنزِلي
إِذا بَقِيَت عِندي السَراويلُ أَو نَعلي
And I care not who visits my home by night,
so long as my trousers or my sandal remain with me.
