1. انهض  جناحًا  في سماء  الأنسنةْ

    ‏هل قِيل أن الروح تبقى  موهنَةْ؟!

    Rise as a wing in the sky of humanization.

    Has it been said that the soul remains enfeebled?!

  2. ‏هل قِيل أن الناس  : جوفٌ فارغٌ

    ‏نهمٌ  وأجسادٌ  تَسيرُ   مؤ بَّنــةْ؟!

    Has it been said that people are an empty hollow—

    Ravenous, and bodies walking, eulogized?!

  3. ‏عقلٌ  تهاوى  وهو في  أبراجهِ

    ‏كالصرحِ يبهت حين يفقد معدنَهْ

    A mind collapsed while in its towers,

    Like an edifice that fades when it loses its substance.

  4. ‏لاذنب  للأيام  إن  ضجّت  بنا

    ‏فالدهر يبدو صامتًا ما أمكنهْ !

    The days are not to blame if they resound with us,

    For time seems silent as long as it can!
