### Teks asli

> If you can keep your head when all about you  
> 
>   Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;  
> 
> If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,  
> 
>   But make allowance for their doubting too:  
> 
> If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,  
> 
>   Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,  
> 
> Or being hated don't give way to hating,  
> 
>   And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;  
> 
>   
> 
> If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;  
> 
>   If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,  
> 
> If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster  
> 
>   And treat those two impostors just the same:  
> 
> If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken  
> 
>   Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,  
> 
> Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,  
> 
>   And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;  
> 
>   
> 
> If you can make one heap of all your winnings  
> 
>   And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,  
> 
> And lose, and start again at your beginnings  
> 
>   ⁠And never breathe a word about your loss:  
> 
> If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew  
> 
>   To serve your turn long after they are gone,  
> 
> And so hold on when there is nothing in you  
> 
>   ⁠Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'  
> 
>   
> 
> If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,  
> 
>   Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,  
> 
> If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,  
> 
>   If all men count with you, but none too much:  
> 
> If you can fill the unforgiving minute  
> 
>   With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,  
> 
> Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,  
> 
>   ⁠And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!
> 
> 

### Terjemahan harfiah

> Jika kau dapat berkepala dingin ketika semua orang di sekitarmu kelabakan dan menyalahkanmu;  
> 
> Jika kau dapat percaya pada dirimu sendiri ketika semua orang meragukanmu  
> 
> Tetapi juga menghargai keraguan mereka padamu;  
> 
> Jika kau dapat menunggu dan tidak lelah menunggu, atau, dibohongi, janganlah berbohong, atau, dibenci, jangan membiarkan dirimu terbawa kebencian  
> 
> Dan walaupun begitu tidak terlihat menonjol, ataupun berbicara terlalu bijak;  
> 
>   
> 
> Jika kau dapat bermimpi—dan tidak menjadikan mimpi-mimpimu sebagai penguasamu;  
> 
> Jika kau dapat berpikir—dan tidak menjadikan pikiran-pikiranmu sebagai tujuan akhirmu;  
> 
> Jika kau dapat menghadapi kemenangan dan kehancuran  
> 
> Dan memperlakukan keduanya dengan cara yang sama;  
> 
> Jika kamu menghadapi kenyataan yang kau sudah ungkapkan  
> 
> Diputarbalikan oleh orang-orang tak jujur agar orang-orang bodoh diperdaya,  
> 
> Atau menyaksikan kehancuran hal-hal dalam hidup yang telah kamu perjuangkan,  
> 
> Dan merendahkan dirimu dan membangunnya kembali dengan peralatan tua;  
> 
>   
> 
> Jika kau dapat membuat satu tumpukan dari semua kemenangan  
> 
> Dan mempertaruhkannya dalam satu putaran permainan lempar koin Dan kalah, dan memulai lagi dari permulaan  
> 
> Dan tidak pernah sekalipun mengeluh tentang kekalahanmu;  
> 
> Jika kau mampu memaksakan hatimu dan sumber kekuatanmu  
> 
> Untuk menebus panjang kekalahanmu  
> 
> Dan tetap bertahan ketika tidak ada lagi yang tersisa pada dirimu Kecuali keinginan yang mengatakan kepada mereka: "Tunggu dulu";  
> 
>   
> 
> Jika kau mampu berbicara dengan orang banyak dan tetap mempertahankan kebaikan hatimu,  
> 
> Atau berjalan dengan raja—namun tidak kehilangan sikap dan bergaul dengan rakyat jelata  
> 
> Jika baik musuh-musuh maupun teman-teman tercinta tidak mampu menyakitimu;  
> 
> Jika semua orang dapat mengandalkanmu, tetapi tidak terlalu; Jika kau mampu mengisi menit tak termaafkan  
> 
> Dengan jarak enam puluh detik yang layak ditempuh–  
> 
> Milikmu adalah bumi dan segala yang ada di dalamnya,  
> 
> Dan—terlebih lagi—kamu akan menjadi seorang pria, anakkmu!
> 
>
