1. The blood of nobleness is spilled in Cairo
Generosity has vanished and lies discarded

2. O people of Egypt, you are all gone
When the palaces embraced the glowing lanterns

3. Your wealth abounds but stinginess accompanies it
While the Nile, despite its generosity, harbors crocodiles

4. If it were not for the dew of Ibn Juwayni Ahmad,
My joints and limbs would speak of you
