1. أَنَا لاَ أَخَافُ وَلاَ أُرَجِّي

    فَرَسِي مُؤَهَّبَةٌ وَسَرْجِي

    I do not fear, nor do I hope.

    My horse is ready, and so is my saddle.

  2. فَإِذَا نَبَا بِيَ مَتْنُ برٍّ

    فَالمَطِيَّةُ بَطْنُ لُجِّ

    So if the back of dry land spurns me,

    then the belly of the deep is my mount.

  3. لاَ قَوْلَ غَيْرَ الْحَقِّ لِي

    قَوْلٌ وَهَذا النَّهْجُ نَهْجِي

    No speech but the truth counts for me

    as speech; and this path is my path.

  4. أَلْوَعْدُ والإيعَادُ مَا كَانَا

    لَدَيَّ طَرِيقَ فُلْجِ

    Promises and threats have never been

    for me a path to victory.
