1. لِإِقدامي لِأَقدامي مَخاضٌ

    بِبَحرٍ مالَهُ قَعرٌ يُرامُ

    Through my daring, my feet have a ford

    In a sea with no reachable bottom.

  2. تَسيلُ بِقَطرَةٍ مِنهُ الأَواذي

    وَمِنّي ما يُبَلُّ بِهِ الأَوامُ

    From a single drop of it, mighty waves flow,

    And from me comes what quenches burning thirst.

  3. وَبَرقُ سَحابِهِ لِسِوايَ عِندي

    ضِياءٌ لَيسَ يَغشاهُ ظَلامُ

    And what is its cloud’s lightning to others is, to me,

    A radiance that no darkness veils.
