1. يا رجال البلاد من كل حزب

    أين من تفزع البلاد إليهِ

    O men of the country, from every party,

    Where is the one to whom the country turns for help?

  2. اتفاقاً على الخضوع يريد ال

    خصم منكم أو اختلافاً عليه

    Agreement on submission is what the

    adversary wants from you—or disagreement over it.

  3. أنتمُ بين سخطه ورضاه

    وله حجتاه في خطتيه

    You stand between his displeasure and his approval,

    and he has his two arguments for his two courses.

  4. لا يقل واحد أنا الواحد الأد

    نى إليه وإن قضى حاجتيه

    Let no one say, “I am the one

    nearest to him,” even if he has met his two needs.

  5. وليعد كل واحد منكم بع

    د تجاريبكم إلى أخويه

    And let each of you return, after

    your experiences, to his two brothers.

  6. إنما الشمل عدتان لمن أخ

    لى يديه الزمانُ من عدتيه

    Indeed, unity is two sources of strength for one whose

    hands Time has emptied of both his sources of strength.
