ترفّعت عن رجا الأنذال همّتنا

ولو دهتنا الليالي ما أهمّتنا
Our resolve has risen above seeking favors from the ignoble.
We held our heads high and spurned the hopes of the lowly
And even if the nights assailed us, they would not trouble us.
Even if the nights have humbled us, we are not troubled

And even if the vicissitudes of days sought us out with evil,
And if the turns of time have harmed us to evil
Do not think we would submit to them, even if we died.
Do not think us so weak to surrender, even in death
