يا أيها الجائر في سيرِهِ

يا أيها الجائر في سيرِهِ

قصْداً فقصدُ السير من خيرِهِ

قصْداً فقصدُ السير من خيرِهِ

O you who stray in your course,

O you who are unjust in your conduct

Be moderate, for moderation in one's course is among its merits.

Intentionally, so the conduct is far from good

لعمرُ من عَرّض لي عِرْضهُ

لعمرُ من عَرّض لي عِرْضهُ

ما زَجر الميمونُ من طيرِهِ

ما زَجر الميمونُ من طيرِهِ

By the life of him who exposed his honor to me,

By the life of one who has offered me his companionship

He drew no auspicious omen from his birds.

The auspicious bird is not deterred from its flock

بنتُك يا خالد فيما يُرى

بنتُك يا خالد فيما يُرى

هي ابنة الشوكي لا غيرِهِ

هي ابنة الشوكي لا غيرِهِ

Your daughter, O Khalid, as far as can be seen,

Your daughter, O Khaled, as it appears

Is al-Shawki's daughter, no one else's.

Is the daughter of Ash-Shawki, no one else

فإن يكن بينكما شركة

فإن يكن بينكما شركة

فإنها لا شك من أيرِهِ

فإنها لا شك من أيرِهِ

And if there is a partnership between you two,

If there is partnership between you

Then she is, without doubt, from his cock.

Then no doubt she is from her father
