1. Ummama, how can I have a truthful leader
And when is my shining morning, the time of our promise

2. So conceal my wickedness and abandon my hope
For I am like the people of Aad returning

3. Evils came to us from them, evils
And Saad ruined the people from Suaad

4. O children of the world, do you not have minds
That turn away from competition and hostility

5. Our tongues will end up as dust
So what is with tongues and dust

6. And whoever's lot among you is to be brought low
Then my best lot is in remoteness

7. And I have tried you and found clear ignorance
Among the young and the old

8. Harm from a friend or enemy
Is misery for the sincere and hostile

9. And these days betray me
As they betrayed Iram and Aad
