1. O king of the world whom Allah has empowered
With the support of His mighty rule
١. يا مَليكَ الدُنيا الَّذي أَعظَمَ اللـ
ـهُ بِتَأييدِ عِزِّهِ سُلطانَه
2. I complain to you of the injustice of a contemptible man
They titled him Safwan, the crown of treasuries
٢. أَنا أَشكو إِلَيكَ جَورَ رَقيعٍ
لَقَّبوهُ الصَفعانَ تاجَ الخَزانَه
3. He lacks reason, chivalry, compassion, religion, life, and integrity
And harbors villainy, vulgarity, malice, ignorance, treachery, and betrayal
٣. عَدمَ العَقلَ وَالمُروءَةَ وَالإِحـ
ـسانَ وَالدينَ وَالحَيا وَالأَمانَه
4. That pimp claims I am his lowly uncle
He went too far insulting and disgracing me
٤. وَحَوى اللُؤمَ وَالرقاعَةَ وَالخِـ
ـسَةَ وَالجَهلَ وَالخَنا وَالخِيانَه
5. They alleged he protects money
And is a trustee, I said, "Hush you scoundrels!"
٥. يَزعُمُ التيسُ أَنَّني خالُهُ الأَد
نى تَناهى في السَبِّ لي وَالإِهانَه
٦. زَعَموا أَنَّهُ حَفيظٌ عَلى الما
لِ أَمينٌ قُلتُ اسكُتي يا فُلانَه
