They mean to subject us to the distortion of what
They intend for us the distortion of what was inscribed
What was designed for us is disfigured
a reed pen inscribed, its inkwell flowing freely with it.
By a reed pen and freely bestowed by an inkwell.
A shepherd tended it with his pen

وَتونس آلت لمستعمره
May there never be a day that we live to see
May there never be a day we live through
So the day we lived in it would not come
Tunisia reduced to a colony.
While Tunisia has become a colony.
And the tool became for the colonizer to enjoy
