إِن دامَ إِفلاسي عَلى ما أَرى

إِن دامَ إِفلاسي عَلى ما أَرى

هَجَرتُ إِخواني وَأَصحابي

هَجَرتُ إِخواني وَأَصحابي

If my pennilessness continues as I see it,

If my bankruptcy continues as I see it now,

I will forsake my brothers and my friends,

I shall abandon my brothers and my friends,

وَبُعتُ أَثوابي وَإِن بِعتُها

وَبُعتُ أَثوابي وَإِن بِعتُها

بَقيتُ بَينَ الدارِ وَالبابِ

بَقيتُ بَينَ الدارِ وَالبابِ

and sell my clothes—and if I sell them,

And sell my clothes—yet if I sell them,

I will remain between the house and the door.

I shall remain stranded between the house and the door.
