1. May God make your leadership endure
In all that you undertake
١. أدامَ اللَّهُ تَمكِين
كَ فِيما تَتَولاهُ
2. For the rule of the sun has been opposed
With excuses that weakened it
٢. فقَد عارَضَ حُكم الشَّم
سِ تعذيرٌ فأوهاهُ
3. And we have become ostriches, if
We saw embers, we would gulp them down
٣. وأصبَحنا نَعاماً لَو
نَرى جَمراً لَلُكناهُ
4. And dregs and poison
Have found their home in our cups
٤. وصارَ الخَزُّ والسَّمو
رُ في الكاساتِ مَأواهُ
5. When we drink them
It is as if we have put them on
٥. إذا نحنُ شَرِبناها
كأنَّا قد لَبِسناهُ
6. So what is your opinion of them, may
God have mercy on you
٦. فما رأيُك فِيها أف
تِنا يَرحَمُكَ اللَّهُ
