1. Her walk sways like the gentle branch
Sways in the breeze so soft and mild
١. وَتَهْتَزُّ فِي مَشْيِهَا مِثْلَ مَا
تَهُزُّ الصَّبَا غُصُنَاً نَاعِمَا
2. She gives command, though I dislike
What's ordered, I obey and smile
٢. وَتَأْمُرُ بِالأَمْرِ فِيْهِ الَّذِي
كَرِهْتُ فَأَرْضَى بِهِ رَاغِمَا
3. To her I moan, but she's no soother
I find no sympathy nor care
٣. وَأَشْكُو إِلَيْهَا فَلاَ مُسْعِدَاً
أُصَادِفُ مِنْهَا وَلاَ رَاحِمَا
4. When can the victim get justice
If his opponent is the judge there
٤. مَتَى يُنْصَفُ الخَصْمُ مِنْ ظَالِمٍ
إِذَا كَانَ ظَالِمُهُ الحَاكِمَا
