1. We return to our sins, we return
For from these sins we benefit

2. And we drink down our misdeeds every time
In a land where no wise opinion is seen

3. Our mind has failed us
With its strength of mind and right judgement

4. We thirst while the meadows have ponds
With overflowing water that is not generous

5. Can an educated boy get lost in Egypt
For the magic of his eloquence that deserves prostration
