1. أَلا لا أُبالي في العُلى ما أَصابَني

    وَإِن نَقِبَت نَعلايَ أَو حَفِيَت رِجلي

    Indeed, I care not what befalls me in pursuit of glory,

    even if my sandals wear through or my foot is rubbed raw.

  2. فَلَم تَرَ عَيني قَطُّ أَحسَنَ مَنظَراً

    مِنَ النَكبِ يَدمى في المُواساةِ وَالبَذلِ

    For my eye has never seen a fairer sight

    than a wound bleeding for the sake of helping others and giving.

  3. وَلَستُ أُبالي مَن تَأَوَّبَ مَنزِلي

    إِذا بَقِيَت عِندي السَراويلُ أَو نَعلي

    Nor do I care who visits my home by night,

    so long as trousers or my sandal remain with me.
