I have no control over fate

مالي على الغبن قدره

1. I have no control over fate,
While you only increase caprice.

١. مالي عَلى الغَبنِ قُدرَه
وَأَنتَ قَد زِدتَ غِرَّه

2. You walk exhibiting wonder,
When you walk with conceit.

٢. تَمشي فَتُظهِرُ عُجباً
إِذا مَشَيتَ وَخَطرَه

3. You are not a man of status,
Nor are you a man of worth.

٣. وَلَستَ صاحِبَ قَدرٍ
وَلَستَ صاحِبَ قُدرَه

4. I see nothing but confusion,
Amongst people and estrangement.

٤. وَلا أَرى غَيرَ تيهٍ
عَلى الأَنامِ وَنَفرَه

5. In you there is a time, and a time,
Of some ennui and languor.

٥. وَفيكَ وَقتاً وَوَقتاً
بَعضُ المَلالِ وَفَترَه

6. And a people has said, but I have no knowledge,
Of what they say or information.

٦. وَقالَ قَومٌ وَما لي
بِما يَقولونَ خِبرَه

7. So I ask God that I not,
Die from you in regret.

٧. فَأَسأَلُ اللَهَ أَن لا
أَموتَ مِنكَ بِحَسرَه

8. Nor have I protected a self for you,
Or relieved you of stumbling.

٨. وَلا وَقى لَكَ نَفساً
وَلا أَقالَكَ عَثرَه
