1. Ask those whom Allah has led astray,
How much they leave for misleading tomorrow's dawn.
١. سل أَضلَّ اللَه سَعيَكُمُ
كَم تَركنون إِلى تَمويه غدّارِ
2. Your countries are thrown into the depths of an abyss,
Of debts for the sake of a covetous scoundrel.
٢. رَمى بِلادَكُمُ في قُعر هاوية
مِن الدُيون عَلى مَرغوب حوسيار
3. And money is spent neither stingily nor generously,
On wickedness, pimps and evildoers.
٣. وَأَنفق المال لا بُخلاً وَلا كَرَماً
عَلى بَغيٍّ وَقوّادٍ وَأَشرار
4. And man is satisfied in this life with one,
Woman while he is not satisfied with a million.
٤. وَالمَرء يَقنَع في الدُنيا بِواحِدَة
مِن النسا وَهوَ لَم يَقنَع بمليار
5. And is content with building one, while he has
Ninety palaces of wood and stone.
٥. وَيَكتفي بِبناء واحد وَلَه
تسعون قصر بِأَخشاب وَأَحجار
6. So wake up, lest Allah remove your stumbling,
From the heedlessness that clothed you in garments of shame.
٦. فَاستيقظوا لا أَقال اللَه عثرتَكم
مِن غَفلة أَلبستكم مَلبسَ العار
