غَنى الضيوف لرب الدار لازمة

غَنى الضيوف لرب الدار لازمة

قاموا لدى قولهم فيها إِلى الابد

قاموا لدى قولهم فيها إِلى الابد

The guests sang a refrain to the master of the house;

The guests sang praise to the host as was their custom

They stood up when they said 'forever' in the refrain.

They stood when he bid them stay forevermore

واستعبدوه كَما شاءَت رغائبهم

واستعبدوه كَما شاءَت رغائبهم

اذ أَيقَنوا انهم فيها الى الابد

اذ أَيقَنوا انهم فيها الى الابد

And they enslaved him as their desires dictated,

And enslaved him to fulfill their every whim

For they were certain they were there forever.

Since they were convinced that they would stay forever

فعلموه اذا شدوا حَقائبهم

فعلموه اذا شدوا حَقائبهم

كَيفَ يَقول اخرجوا منها إِلى الأَبد

كَيفَ يَقول اخرجوا منها إِلى الأَبد

So, when they packed their bags, they taught him

So they taught him, when they packed their bags

How to say, 'Get out of it forever.'

To say "Get out and never return again"
