وأبيك إنّ الحُرّ يمنعُه

وأبيك إنّ الحُرّ يمنعُه

من أنْ يذلَّ شريفُ منصبِه

من أنْ يذلَّ شريفُ منصبِه

By your father, a freeborn man is indeed kept

Your father, if the free man refuse

from abasement by the nobility of his station.

That his noble rank should humiliation know

وأخوكَ لو أيقظْتَه لِنَدى

وأخوكَ لو أيقظْتَه لِنَدى

أيقَظْتَ منه غير مُنتبِه

أيقَظْتَ منه غير مُنتبِه

And your brother, if you roused him to generosity,

And your brother, if aroused, naught would awake

you would awaken in him one still asleep.

In him but one who has no sense of care

فاجْعَلْ وسيلتَك الإله تُفِدْ

فاجْعَلْ وسيلتَك الإله تُفِدْ

فاللهُ أنجحُ ما طلبْتَ به

فاللهُ أنجحُ ما طلبْتَ به

So make God your recourse, and you will benefit;

Make God then the means unto your profit-He

for God is the surest means through which to ask.

God is best wherewith you may seek to thrive
