1. My family wronged me with ill treatment
And spread what I disliked about myself
١. أَساؤَني بِسوءِ الصُنعِ أَهلي
وَعَنّي ما كَرِهتُ لَهُ أَذاعوا
2. And said what would make my chest tighten
While the spies spread every slander
٢. وَقالوا ما يَضيقُ لَدَيهِ صَدري
وَعَن تَسطيرِهِ كُلَّ اليَراعُ
3. And they obstructed what I desired from me
And brought me closer to what contains humility
٣. وَحالوا بَينَ ما أَبغي وَبَيني
وَأَدنوني لِما فيهِ اِتِّضاعُ
4. They disobeyed the order of the Overseer in my reform
And obeyed Satan in my ruin
٤. عَصوا أَمرَ المُهَيمِنِ في صَلاحي
وَلِلشَيطانِ في تَلَفي أَطاعوا
5. So I said, while my eyes weep blood
The weeping of a young man from whom plains have sprouted
٥. فَقُلتُ وَأَعيُني تَبكي دِماءَ
بِكاءِ فَتىً نَبَتَ عَنهُ البِقاعُ
6. Oh what a loss, those I hoped for their survival
They ruined me, and what a young man they have ruined
٦. أَيا أَسَفاهُ مَن أَرجو بَقاهُم
أَضاعوني وَأَيُّ فَتى أَضاعوا
