1. Your faces are smiling, while my eyes are weeping,
You have justice, while I have complaining,
١. أَوَجهُكَ بَسّامٌ وَطَرفِيَ باكي
وَعَدلُكَ مَوجودٌ وَمِثلِيَ شاكي
2. My oppression refuses to infringe upon your dignity,
That shakes you like the shaking of the wind shaking a tender shoot.
٢. وَتَأبى اِهتِضامي في جَنابِكَ هِمَّةٌ
تَهُزُّكَ هَزَّ الريحِ فَرعَ أَراكِ
3. A tyrant has slept from me fleeing,
So O gift of the sharp sword, catch up!
٣. وَقَد نامَ مِنّي ظالِمٌ لِيَ ذاعِرٌ
فَيا هَبَّةَ السَيفِ الحُسامِ دَراكِ
