1. رحم الله من أتاني بموسى

    فتقصى بحده جب أيري

    May God have mercy on whoever brings me a razor

    and then cuts my cock clean off with its edge.

  2. كل يوم أغضي له عن جنايا

    تٍ كأن الحديث فيها لغيري

    Every day I turn a blind eye to its misdeeds,

    as though the talk of them concerned someone else.

  3. ولعمري كم في صباحٍ بشرٍ

    كان لولاه قد جرى لي بخير

    And by my life, how often things went badly in the morning,

    when, but for it, they would have gone well for me!
