1. May God repay you with evil, you old hag,
And may your sons meet with filial impiety.
١. جَزاكِ اللَهُ شَرّاً مِن عَجوزٍ
وَلَقّاكِ العُقوقَ مِنَ البَنينِ
2. You have poisoned your sons against me
Until you left them weaker than flour.
٢. لَقَد سُوِّستِ أَمرَ بَنيكِ حَتّى
تَرَكتِهِمُ أَدَقَّ مِنَ الطَحينِ
3. Your tongue is icy, leaving nothing,
And you are a coarse, vile slanderer.
٣. لِسانُكِ مِبرَدٌ لَم يُبقِ شَيئاً
وَدَرُّكِ دَرُّ جاذِبَةٍ دَهينِ
4. But if you cross me and do not relent,
I will come at you with force, stout and sturdy.
٤. فَإِن تُخلَي وَأَمرَكِ لا تَصولي
بِمُشتَدٍّ قُواهُ وَلا مَتينِ
