والحمد لله قد فطنا

والحمد لله قد فطنا

لولا حذار العدى لقلنا

لولا حذار العدى لقلنا

And praise be to God—we have understood.

Praise be to God, we have become wise,

Were it not for fear of our foes, we would say:

Were it not for fear of enemies, we would have spoken,

لو كان من زار عاشقيه

لو كان من زار عاشقيه

اثر في وجهه افتضحنا

اثر في وجهه افتضحنا

If anyone who visited his lovers

Had the one who visited his lover,

had a mark on his face, we would be exposed.

Left a trace on his face, we would have been exposed.
