Let me speak and let him criticize

دعني أقول ودعه ينتقد

1. Let me speak and let him criticize
My speech is clear and his criticism is cold

١. دعْني أَقولُ ودعْهُ يَنْتقِدُ
قوْلي الزُّلالُ ونقْدُهُ البَرَدُ

2. And he says it's magic what I say to you
You said truly, because it is a knot

٢. ويقول سحر ما أَقولُ لكُمْ
قُلْتُ صدقْتَ لأَنَّهُ عُقدُ

3. What would hurt the lion if it roared
If the shadow keeps criticizing its roar

٣. ماذا يضر الأُسْد إِن زأَرتْ
إِنْ ظل ينقُدُ زأْرَها النقدُ

4. Or what's wrong with my words and sentences
Foam with criticism, all of it is foam

٤. أَو مَا عَلى قوْلي وجُمْلتِه
زَبَدٌ بنَقْدٍ كُلُّهُ زَبَدُ

5. My words shape the idea beautifully
And the criticism in it shapes it crooked

٥. قَوْلِي يصوغُ الفِكْرُ عَسْجَدَهُ
والنقدُ فيه يصوغُه المَعِدُ

6. No longer does my face fill with laughter
Criticism with an eye filled with mucus

٦. لا عاد وجهِي مِلْؤُهْ ضَحِكٌ
نَقْدٌ بِعَيْنٍ مِلْؤُهَا رَمَدُ
