وإذا رأيت فتى بأعلى رتبة
في شامخ من عره المترفع
And whenever I see a young man at the highest rank,
At a lofty summit of his exalted glory [reading uncertain],
قالت لي النفس العروق بفضلها
ما كان أولاني بهذا الموضع
My soul, aware of its own merit [reading uncertain], says to me:
How much more deserving I was of this position!
