1. Oh what an evil companion you are
I hosted him until he scowled
١. فَيالَكَ من أَيرٍ جُزيتَ شَرَّا
أَقَمتُهُ حتى إِذا اكفَهَرَّا
2. His veins throbbed and gushed
He turned to me with a fake face
٢. واضطَرَبَت أَعرَاقُه ودَرَّا
عادَ إِليَّ وَجهُهُ مُزورَّا
3. I wanted harmony, but he wanted conflict
As if he had committed a shameful sin
٣. أُريدُ جَوَّاً ويُريدُ بَرَّا
كأنَّهُ صاحِبُ ذَنبٍ فَرَّا
4. As if he had swallowed something bitter
It's not right that you're being blamed
٤. كَأَنَّما ألقِمَ شَيئاً مُرَّا
وما عَلَيكَ أن يُقال زُرَّا
