نُدِلُّ عَلى مَوالينا وَنَجفو

نُدِلُّ عَلى مَوالينا وَنَجفو

وَنُعتِبُهُم وَإِن لَنا الذُنوبا

وَنُعتِبُهُم وَإِن لَنا الذُنوبا

We take liberties with our masters and treat them coldly,

We blame our loved ones though we are at fault

And reproach them, even though the sins are ours,

And falsely accuse them, ignoring our guilt

بِأَقوالٍ يُجانِبنَ المَعاني

بِأَقوالٍ يُجانِبنَ المَعاني

وَأَلسِنَةٍ يُخالِفنَ القُلوبا

وَأَلسِنَةٍ يُخالِفنَ القُلوبا

With words that stray from their meanings,

With words that belie our true intentions

And tongues that contradict our hearts.

And tongues that contradict our hearts
