عَقَقتَ أَباكَ ذا نَشَبٍ وَيُسرٍ

عَقَقتَ أَباكَ ذا نَشَبٍ وَيُسرٍ

فَلَمّا أَفنَتِ الدُنيا أَباكا

فَلَمّا أَفنَتِ الدُنيا أَباكا

You were unfilial to your father, a man of wealth and ease;

You stabbed your father out of youth and ease

Then, when the world had brought your father to his end,

But after you wasted your life fatherless

عَلِقتَ عَداوَتي هَذي لَعَمري

عَلِقتَ عَداوَتي هَذي لَعَمري

ثيابُ السرِّ تُلبِسُها عِراكا

ثيابُ السرِّ تُلبِسُها عِراكا

You took up enmity toward me—these, by my life,

You've earned my enmity, by my life

Are garments of secrecy you put on all at once.

The clothes of secrecy you wear naked
