وإنand indeed بقومٍamong a people سوّدوكthey made you their chief لفاقةًsurely a need
وإن بقومٍ سوّدوك لفاقةً
إلىfor سيّدٍa chief لوif only يظفرونthey could succeed بسيدin finding a chief
إلى سيّدٍ لو يظفرون بسيد
And a people who made you their chief are surely in need
Even if some people disparage you out of need
Of a chief—if only they could find a chief!
To a master - if only they could gain a master
