I vow to you a long time of being content with injustice

عهدتك بي دهرا ضنينا على العدى

1. I vow to you a long time of being content with injustice
When enemies try to harm my honor out of suspicion

١. عَهَدتُكَ بي دَهراً ضَنيناً عَلى العِدى
إِذا رَمَتِ الأَعداءُ عِرضِيَ بِالظَنِّ

2. And your good opinion of me used to see me as one
Who can crush the livers of foes out of their deceit

٢. وَكانَ يَراني حُسنُ رَأيِكَ بِالَّتي
يُفَتِّتُ أَكبادَ العُداةِ مِنَ الغُبنِ

3. So if that opinion remains unchanged in me, then for so long
You have endured the turns of fate working hard for me

٣. فَإِن حالَ ذاكَ الرَأيُ فِيَّ فَطالَماٍ
أَحَلتَ صُروفَ الدَهرِ مُجتَهِداً عَنّي

4. And if morals have hardened from you, for so long
You have softened the days for me until I became scared of you

٤. وَإِن قَسَتِ الأَخلاقُ مِنكَ فَطالَما
أَلَنتَ لِيَ الأَيّامَ حَتّى اِختَشَت مِنّي
