1. أَدْعو عليْهمْ ولا أَدْعو لهمْ أبَدَا

    مَن لم يمُدُّوا لنا في النَّازلاتِ يَدَا

    I pray against them, and never pray for them:

    those who did not lend us a hand in calamity,

  2.  وَمّن تَخَلَّتْ عنِ القُرْبَى عُروبَتُهُمْ

    ومَن أَباحوا دِمانا لِلغُزاةِ سُدَى ...  

    and those whose Arab identity forsook kinship,

    and those who let invaders spill our blood in vain...

  3. يا رَبّ واجْعلْ لهمْ مِن نَفْطِهمْ حَطَبًا

    يَأْتي عليهمْ ولا يُبْقِي لهمْ مَدَدَا

    O Lord, turn their oil into firewood for them,

    that consumes them and leaves them no aid.

  4.  لم أدْعُ يَوْمًا على حَيٍّ فمَعْذِرَةً

    مِن بَعْدِ غَزَّةَ ، أَنِّي أَفقِدُ الرَّشَدَا ...!

    I never once prayed against a living soul—so pardon me,

    for, after Gaza, I am losing my reason...!
