1. My state is like yours, O evildoer
Life is harsh, so we're all imprisoned
١. حالي كحالكَ أيّها الشحرور
قستِ الحياة فكلُّنا مأسور
2. The grieving soldier is weary of his jail
And Al-Rashid's son is pained by his prison
٢. فالعسكر المفجوع ضاق بحبسه
وابن الرشيد بسجنه موتور
3. The lion is shackled while the sheep roam free
The falcon swoops while the crow soars high
٣. الأسد تؤسرُ والنعاج طليقةٌ
والصقر يهوي والغراب يطيرُ
