1. This is a wandering boy
Roaming confused in the dark

2. He has suffered much misery
His nails are worn down

3. Look at his clothes
Nothing decent is left

4. He doesn't want to leave them
Fearing the horsemen and migrants

5. But she has left him
A justified and excused separation

6. I examine his ribs
Underneath, in the dark night

7. I saw the structure of his bones
And remembered the residents of graves

8. It's as if he were dead
Revived by Jesus after death

9. The breeze almost demolished him
The storms almost pulverized him

10. You see him so emaciated
The spears could pierce him

11. How strange it is that hardship
Afflicts him in the heart of the greatest city

12. And poverty assaults him
While childcare is alert

13. Many like him in the darkness
Wandering, obvious poverty

14. Humiliated, going out in the night
Like bats leaving their caves

15. Wrapped in his cloak
Waiting for a passerby's charity

16. His sight brings no comfort
No eye looks upon him

17. If he were well off
He would be just one of many unlucky ones

18. Look to the left, and see how much
Misfortune leaves to misfortune

19. Is more painful and revealing of misery
She is an unfortunate creature

20. Having strayed from the righteous path
In her gait and pallor

21. The marks of a whore's upbringing
Have mercy for your youth, O

22. Resemblance of brilliant idols
Thus she is cast into filth

23. Trampled like flowers
When the cheapened ones have no honor

24. The pure small ones have none
Do you see her moves and glances

25. Entice all passersby
As if they are not upset

26. By the like of her in sin
Many of them mock

27. Few, if good, would deter
They do not feel she

28. Is among the greatest dangers
The peoples of the East gave up

29. Achieving glories and prides
They fell into the law of strife

30. Who falls, no doubt, loses
Nations walk toward their goals

31. While the Nile's people lag behind
How many youths have been lost

32. In Egypt and Syria, yet many remain
But they were not granted

33. Wisdom or courage for adventure
One flies with fantasy

34. Another improvises jokes
They did not understand life

35. And what life is without struggle
Traversing the wilderness

36. And riding the ships' boards
Consulting only determination

37. Regarding difficulties and means
Seeking lasting deeds

38. With the spirit of a gambler
No determination falters

39. With an early word in Egypt
How much do we rely on tomorrow

40. While tomorrow makes today go
The homelands are ruined

41. With no invention, economy, or wealth
Leave what ignorance brings upon it

42. And the disasters that ensue
In economy is our life

43. And survival, despite denial
In it factories raise us

44. Farms and shops
O you who complain of a plight

45. That brings dangerous results
No - by Him who gave you

46. Eloquence without denial
You no longer have in yourself

47. Various anxieties and thoughts
I have become as I was

48. Busy or awake at night
I wish it were worries

49. That risks would redeem with the soul
But it is worries over

50. What degrades the father from petty matters
It can kill insects

51. That it does not fear at all
And one lives without attempting

52. Anything but what is easy
Let us look for what will

53. Lighten our load with scenes
Go to the house built

54. With the vine of elements
Where dignity is greater for the poor

55. Than the lowest foundations
We will take these two children there

56. God as our supporter
Who do I or you, my brother, have

57. With treasuries full of gold
We will establish for them manners

58. After morals have circulated
And pursue as much as generosity allows

59. Of schools and platforms
And say: O fate, judge

60. You will not again be unjust
The women and leaders of Egypt

61. And its consciences
Returned youths

62. Whom corruption gambled with
And threw in the garbage of villains

63. Drunk and indecent
Or scattered as goods and scattered them

64. Among the villains, a merchant
What will they be tomorrow, and what

65. Will their fate be among fates?
From them, do you expect

66. Good for Egypt, you discerning ones?
They are cracks in your group

67. So mend, God is the mender
