1. Tell the son of war, Talisa
Your people are like Noah's, he is one of them
١. قُل لِاِبنِ حَربٍ طَيلَسا
نُكَ قَومُ نوحٍ مِنهُ أَحدَث
2. He erased generations, and still
Inherits from those who passed before
٢. أَفنى القُرونَ وَلَم يَزَل
عَمَّن مَضى مِن قَبلُ يُورَث
3. When eyes glance upon him
It's as if with that glance he is tilled
٣. وَإِذا العُيونُ لَحَظنَهُ
فَكَأَنَّهُ بِاللَحظِ يُحرَث
4. He wants when I don't nurture him
And when I nurture him he doesn't last long
٤. يودي إِذا لَم أَرفُهُ
فَإِذا رَفَوتُ فَلَيسَ يَلبَث
5. Like a dog, if you set upon it
A lifetime, or leave it panting
٥. كَالكَلبِ إِن تَحمِل عَلَي
هِ الدَهرَ أَو تَترُكهُ يَلهَث
