لعمركby your life ماnot أباليI care أيwhich أرضland
لعمرك ما أبالي أي أرض
حللتI settle ولوand even if حللتI settle معamong الوحوشthe wild beasts
حللت ولو حللت مع الوحوش
By your life, I care not in what land
For your life, I care not what land I tread
I settle, even if I settle among wild beasts.
Even if with savage beasts my path is wed

With me are my wooden bowl, my inkwell, and my fortune-telling,
With me are my flask, my pen and my stars
And an almanac of ill omens, free of deceit.
And the chart of ill-fate read with no facade

بلا خماطة وبلا مروش
When Kutama arrives, it will find me
When darkness descends, if it finds me here
Without khammāṭa and without murūsh (terms of uncertain meaning).
No cheating or scheming will I need to fear
