وثقيلٍ كأنه ثِقْلُ دينِ

وثقيلٍ كأنه ثِقْلُ دينِ

تتقذاه طالعاً كلُّ عينِ

تتقذاه طالعاً كلُّ عينِ

And a bore, as though he were the burden of a debt,

Heavy as though it were the weight of debt

Every eye finds him an eyesore when he appears.

That every eye seeks to pay off at dawn

حمَّل الله أَرْضَهُ ثقليها

حمَّل الله أَرْضَهُ ثقليها

وبراهُ علاوة الثِّقلين

وبراهُ علاوة الثِّقلين

God loaded His earth with its two burdens,

God has burdened its land with its heaviness

And created him as an extra load atop the two.

And excused it the weight of the two burdens
