عَذَّبتَني بِاِعتِلالِك

عَذَّبتَني بِاِعتِلالِك

وَطولِ عُمرِ مَطالِك

وَطولِ عُمرِ مَطالِك

You tormented me with your excuses

You tortured me with your ailment

and the long life of your delays.

And the length of your persistence

لا تَنكُري شَيبَ رَأسي

لا تَنكُري شَيبَ رَأسي

فَإِنَّهُ مِن فِعالِك

فَإِنَّهُ مِن فِعالِك

Do not deny the gray hair on my head,

Do not deny the grayness of my head

for it is your doing.

For it is from your deeds
