1. I did not sell you out of choice, nor willingly
But only because I needed the price
١. ما بِعتُكُم مُرخِصاً ما عَنَّ مِن عُمُري
إِلّا لِأَنِّيَ مُحتاجٌ إِلى الثَمَنِ
2. Had I been self-sufficient, independent of you
And had cash to spare, I'd not have sold you so readily
٢. لَو كُنتُ مُستَغنِياً عَنكُم وَلي جِدَةٌ
تُعينُني ما مَلَكتُم طائِعاً رَسَني
