1. فَلو أَنَّ قومي أَطاعوا الرَّشا

    دَ لم يُبعدوني ولم أَظلمِ

    Had my people followed right guidance,

    they would not have driven me away, nor would I have done wrong.

  2. ولكنَّ قومي أَطاعوا الغُوا

    ةَ حتى تَعَكَّظَ أَهلُ الدمِ

    But my people obeyed the misguided,

    until the avengers of blood gathered.
