وَمَن يَسرِ فَوقَ الأَرضِ يَطلبُ غايَةً

وَمَن يَسرِ فَوقَ الأَرضِ يَطلبُ غايَةً

مِنَ المَجدِ يَسري فَوقَ جُمجُمَةِ النَسرِ

مِنَ المَجدِ يَسري فَوقَ جُمجُمَةِ النَسرِ

And whoever journeys by night over the earth, seeking a summit

He who travels upon the earth seeking glory

of glory, journeys above the eagle’s skull.

Travels upon the skull of the eagle

وَمَن يَختَلِف في العالَمينَ نِجارُهُ

وَمَن يَختَلِف في العالَمينَ نِجارُهُ

فَإِنّا مِنَ العَلياءِ نَجري عَلى نَجرِ

فَإِنّا مِنَ العَلياءِ نَجري عَلى نَجرِ

And whoever’s lineage varies among humankind,

And he whose star differs in both worlds

then we follow a line of descent from the heights.

We flow among the exalted upon the star

وَمَن يَتَّجر بِالمالِ يَكسِبُ رِبحَهُ

وَمَن يَتَّجر بِالمالِ يَكسِبُ رِبحَهُ

فَبِالمالِ نَشري رابِحَ الحَمدِ وَالنَشرِ

فَبِالمالِ نَشري رابِحَ الحَمدِ وَالنَشرِ

And whoever trades with money earns his profit,

And he who trades with money earns profit

then with money we buy profit-yielding praise and renown.

With money we buy the profitable, praise and publishing
