قَناتي عَلى ما تَعهَدانِ صَليبَةٌ

قَناتي عَلى ما تَعهَدانِ صَليبَةٌ

وَعودي عَلى ماتَعلَمانِ صَليبُ

وَعودي عَلى ماتَعلَمانِ صَليبُ

My spear-shaft is sturdy, as you two have known it;

My steadfastness to what you have promised is crucifixion

and my timber is sturdy, as you two know.

And my loyalty to what you know is crucifixion

صَبورٌ عَلى طَيِّ الزَمانِ وَنَشرِهِ

صَبورٌ عَلى طَيِّ الزَمانِ وَنَشرِهِ

وَإِن ظَهَرَت لِلدَهرِ فِيَّ نُدوبُ

وَإِن ظَهَرَت لِلدَهرِ فِيَّ نُدوبُ

I am patient through time's folding and unfolding,

I am patient with the vicissitudes of time and its unfolding

even if time's scars appear upon me.

And if the scars of time become visible in me

وَإِنَّ فَتىً لَم يَكسِرِ الأَسرُ قَلبَهُ

وَإِنَّ فَتىً لَم يَكسِرِ الأَسرُ قَلبَهُ

وَخَوضُ المَنايا جِدَّهُ لَنَجيبُ

وَخَوضُ المَنايا جِدَّهُ لَنَجيبُ

And indeed, a youth whose heart captivity has not broken,

Surely a man whose heart is not broken by captivity

and whose resolve plunging into death has not broken, is truly noble.

And whose spirit plunges into the abyss is noble
