1. We tested the favor of your friend O son of Layla
Yet you were not loyal to us in our stumbling
١. بَلَونا فَضلَ مالِكَ يا اِبنَ لَيلى
فَلَم تَكُ عِندَ عَثرَتِنا أَخانا
2. As if our departure from the abode was resolved
To the wastes of defeat from Oman
٢. كَأَنَّ رِحالَنا في الدارِ حُلَّت
إِلى عُفرِ اللَهازِمِ مِن عُمانا
3. So how did you combine begging and greed
With, in poverty, self-importance, obstinacy
٣. فَكَيفَ جَمَعتَ مَسأَلَةً وَحِرصاً
وَعِندَ الفَقرِ زَحّاراً أُنانا
