1. My treasures on the shore of the gulf were torn
By pillaging hands and ravaging flames
١. أضحت على شط الخليج ذخائري
مزقاً بأيدي النهب والنيران
2. Worse than lamenting misfortunes is that I
Was driven to the son of smoke
٢. وأضر من شكوى الحوادث أنني
أصبحت مدفوعاً إلى ابن دخان
3. Necessity led me to him, so I deceived him
Until God saw me where He forbade me
٣. دعت الضرورة نحوه فغشيته
حتى رآني الله حيث نهاني
4. The sun rose on me after its harbingers
And I was deprived of the glory of prestige and sovereignty
٤. طلعت علي الشمس بعد طلائع
وحرمت عز الجاه والسلطان
