أَصابَت عَلينا جودَكَ العَينُ يا عُمَر

أَصابَت عَلينا جودَكَ العَينُ يا عُمَر

فَنَحنُ لَها نَبغي التَمائِمَ وَالنُشَر

فَنَحنُ لَها نَبغي التَمائِمَ وَالنُشَر

The evil eye has struck your generosity toward us, O Umar.

Your generosity has been afflicted by the evil eye, O Omar

So we seek amulets and counterspells against it.

So we seek charms and publications for it

أَصابَتكَ عينٌ في سَخائِكَ صُلبَةٌ

أَصابَتكَ عينٌ في سَخائِكَ صُلبَةٌ

وَيارُبَّ عَينٍ صُلبَةٍ تَفلِقُ الحَجَر

وَيارُبَّ عَينٍ صُلبَةٍ تَفلِقُ الحَجَر

A hard evil eye has struck you in your generosity,

Your generosity has been afflicted by a rigid eye

And many a hard evil eye splits stone.

And by God a rigid eye can split rocks

سَنَرقيكَ بِالأَشعارِ حَتّى تَمَلَّها

سَنَرقيكَ بِالأَشعارِ حَتّى تَمَلَّها

فَإِنلَم تُفِق مِنها رَقَيناكَ بِالسُوَر

فَإِنلَم تُفِق مِنها رَقَيناكَ بِالسُوَر

We shall charm you with poems until you tire of them;

We will elevate you with poems until you are weary of them

And if you do not recover from it, we shall charm you with Qur’anic chapters.

And if you do not recover from them, we will elevate you with walls
