1. The palace of Dubai has no place for your lion
Yet the wolf resides in the palace of governance, prowling
١. قَصرَ الدوبارَةِ ما لِلَيثِكَ رابِضاً
وَالذِئبُ في قَصرِ الإِمارَةِ يَحجِلُ
2. I heard the howling of worshipers in Abudhabi
And wondered how the mindless can reign
٢. إِنّي سَمِعتُ بِعابِدينَ عُواءَهُ
فَعَجِبتُ كَيفَ يَسودُ مَن لا يَعقِلُ
