1. Forgive me if I troubled you with my words
And sent my questions without restraint

2. And if I was harsh on your ears with what
I will utter of my sorrow and my pain

3. Forgive me, I disturbed your peace with what
I will utter of the news of lingering wound

4. For I am your son, no matter how I turned
Away from you, lost in my illusions

5. And I am your son, no matter how I rode
My whims, a camel untamed, without reins

6. And I am your son, though you cut off from me
Pages of kindness and generosity

7. I will be the most truthful ever speaker
Speaking truthfully, with no masks or veils

8. Do not belittle my words or hastily
Block them, refuse them, stop listening to my tales

9.
I speak for those who tasted like me

10. The bitterness of the harsh days’ ordeals
Among cafés and restaurants they became

11. A burden on networks and on screens
The streets complain of the annoyance of their loitering

12. The market complains of the crush of their feet
I speak for the youth because I

13. Am the most wretched from the wasted years
They said: unemployment, I said: that is my companion

14. What an awful companion, ruining my dreams
It attacked me with the youth and tied

15. The rope of despair, tightly binding
I was but an excellent student

16. At every stage, my belt pulled tight
My great goal was to build something mature

17. That would raise its owner to the best positions
Until I graduated with honors

18. And with it set out like a brave knight
I went from door to door

19. Seeing rejection increase my pain and illness
This certificate in my right hand

20. Is my spear that I prepared and sharpened
I stayed up studying, bearing

21. The ambition of excellence, sacrificing my sleep
I tired my mother and dear father and those

22. Who care for me from relatives
And now after graduation they became

23. Like me, on the embers of my burning waiting
How often did the dear father shake my hand

24. To strengthen my resolve and determination?
Rejoice my son, for I heard good news

25. Reported to us through the media
Job opportunities will open

26. Their doors to our youth fully and completely
But how you wished when you realized that what

27. They said was an illusion, a deep darkness
Be patient my father, for how many reports spread

28. Among the media that were but empty words
Oh my people, you make me feel

29. I have become like a groveling beggar
Do not ignite my anger, or I will swear

30. I am a beggar seeking blame
I am one who earned from the system

31. My certificate, and now my will is killed by the system
It pains me to stand idle

32. My worry behind me and mirage before me
The world boasts of its billions

33. While I have zero in my hands, no numbers
I say, and I am but an arrow

34. You guided away from loss with your arrows
What state are people in, if not their rightful duty,

35. Then they are not people of generosity
Do not neglect the matter of youth, else perhaps
