1. أتلزمني الذنب من غير ذنب

    وأنت بلومك ليَ مذنب

    Do you charge me with guilt when I have done no wrong?

    And you, in reproaching me, are guilty.

  2. ووجهك لي ضاحك في اللقا

    ولكن لسانك لي عقرب

    And your face smiles at me when we meet,

    but your tongue is a scorpion to me.

  3. تدب إلي بمكر الأذي

    ويلسعني الناب والمخلب

    You creep toward me with harmful guile,

    and the fang and the claw sting me.

  4. فإبليس منك على خبثه

    أبرّ وأوفى لمَن يصحَبُ

    So Iblis, despite his wickedness, is—compared with you—

    kinder and more loyal to those he befriends.
