How many hard slaps upon the front of your face,
How many slaps on your stubborn face
From the palm of a foolish, strong-handed doorkeeper,
From the hand of an ignorant prison guard
حَتّىuntil وَصَلتَyou arrived فَنِلتَand so you obtained أَكلَةَa meal ضَيغَمٍof a lion
حَتّى وَصَلتَ فَنِلتَ أَكلَةَ ضَيغَمٍ
مُتَضَمِّخٍsmeared بِدَمٍwith blood وَأَنفٍand a nose ساقِطِdrooping
مُتَضَمِّخٍ بِدَمٍ وَأَنفٍ ساقِطِ
Until you arrived and gained a lion's meal—
Until you got the reward of persistence
Smeared with blood, with a drooping nose.
Covered in blood and with a broken nose
