كَمْ دِرْهَمٍ بَاتَ يَشكُو

كَمْ دِرْهَمٍ بَاتَ يَشكُو

مِن طُولِ سِجْنٍ لَدَيكا

مِن طُولِ سِجْنٍ لَدَيكا

Many a dirham has spent the night complaining

How many coins have spent the night

of long imprisonment with you,

Complaining of the long captivity with you

وَقَال تَاللّهِ بِاللَّ

وَقَال تَاللّهِ بِاللَّ

هِ خَلِّني مِن يَدَيكا

هِ خَلِّني مِن يَدَيكا

and said, “By God! For God's

And said, by God, please

sake, release me from your hands!”

Release me from your hands
