ما مِن صَديقٍ مُشفِقٍ

ما مِن صَديقٍ مُشفِقٍ

آمُلُهُ سِوى الوَرَق

آمُلُهُ سِوى الوَرَق

There is no caring friend

No friend cares for me

I hope for except silver.

Except the paper I write on

فَثِق بِهِ مُصاحِباً

فَثِق بِهِ مُصاحِباً

وَلا تَثِق بِمَن يَثَق

وَلا تَثِق بِمَن يَثَق

So trust it as a companion,

Trust it as a companion

And do not trust one who trusts.

And do not trust those who trust
