1. بِالسَمعِ مِن بَصَرِ الفُؤادِ

    عَرَفتُ أَرضي مِن سَمائي

    Through hearing, from the heart’s sight,

    I distinguished my earth from my heaven.

  2. وَبِيُمنِ عِرفانِ اليَمينِ

    سَرَت إِلى اليُسرى خُطائي

    And through the blessing of knowing the right hand,

    My steps moved toward the left.

  3. وَوَرا أَمامي غادَرَ الأَشياخَ

    مِن قَومي وَرائي

    And the rear of my front left the elders

    Of my people behind me.
