1. أَيَّ مَحَلٍّ أَرتَقي

    أَيَّ عَظيمٍ أَتَّقي

    To what station shall I rise?

    What mighty one shall I fear?

  2. وَكُلُّ ما قَد خَلَقَ الـ

    لاهُ وَما لَم يَخلُقِ

    And all that has been created by

    God, and all He has not created,

  3. مُحتَقَرٌ في هِمَّتي

    كَشَعرَةٍ في مَفرِقي

    Is paltry beside my ambition,

    Like a hair upon my crown.
