1. Among friends I have a traitor,
One who betrays my wealth and affection.
١. لي في الأصادق خائن
في المال مني والوداد
2. Whenever I see him surrounded
By a group of people, I know he has turned against me.

عاتٍ من الأقوام عاد
3. This call of his is a punishment -
I say the caller has spoken the truth.
٣. ونداؤه هذا جزاً
فأقول قد صدق المنادي
