1. I praised you in ignorance of your true selves,
Thinking there was still nobility in you.
١. وَلَقَد مَدَحتُكُمُ عَلى جَهلٍ بِكُم
وَظَنَنتُ فيكُم لِلصَنيعَةِ مَوضِعاً
2. But having tested you, I find you utterly vile,
Wasting my life's span on the likes of you.
٢. وَرَجَعتُ بَعدَ الإِختِبارِ أَذُمُّكُم
فَأَضَعتُ في الحالَينِ عُمري أَجمَعا
