1. If the oppressed came to me one day complaining
Of a tyrant who overwhelmed him with exhaustion
١. لَو جاءَني المَظلوم يَوما يَشتَكي
من مستبد سامه الارهاقا
2. I would be nothing but that heart
That knows no leniency or sympathy
٢. ما كنتَ الا ذلك القلب الَّذي
لا يعرف التَخفيف والاشفاقا
3. I would find his complaint abhorrent, for complaining
Only brings failure upon his endeavor
٣. مستبشعا شكواه اذ قد تجلب الش
كوى الى مشروعه الاخفاقا
