تبدّلت الأشرار بعد خيارها

تبدّلت الأشرار بعد خيارها

وجدّبها من امةٍ وهي تلعب

وجدّبها من امةٍ وهي تلعب

She has replaced her best with the wicked;

The wicked changed after their goodness

And matters have grown grave for her—a nation still at play.

And their glib tongues beguiled a heedless folk
