إنَّ الخمولَ وقاني

إنَّ الخمولَ وقاني

ما كنتُ أخشى وأكرَهْ

ما كنتُ أخشى وأكرَهْ

Indeed, obscurity has shielded me

Laziness plagues me

From what I used to fear and loathe.

I didn't fear or hate it before

يا ربِّ زدني خمولاً

يا ربِّ زدني خمولاً

وزدْ عدوِّي شهرَهْ

وزدْ عدوِّي شهرَهْ

O my Lord, grant me greater obscurity,

Oh Lord, increase my laziness

And grant my enemy greater fame.

And increase my enemy's fame
