لِإِقدامي لِأَقدامي مَخاضٌ

بِبَحرٍ مالَهُ قَعرٌ يُرامُ
Through my daring, my feet have a ford
My steps have labor pains
In a sea with no reachable bottom.
In an ocean without bottom to covet

وَمِنّي ما يُبَلُّ بِهِ الأَوامُ
From a single drop of it, mighty waves flow,
Its drops make streams overflow
And from me comes what quenches burning thirst.
And I have what makes epochs soak

And what is its cloud’s lightning to others is, to me,
The lightning of its clouds is to me
A radiance that no darkness veils.
An illumination no darkness covers
