You have appointed a doorkeeper at

You appointed an eyebrow as guardian

your door, O lion cub of generosity.

Of your door, O glorious lion cub.

ما اللّيْثُ يَرضى حارساً

ما اللّيْثُ يَرضى حارساً

والكلبُ يَحرسُ الغَنمْ

والكلبُ يَحرسُ الغَنمْ

The lion accepts no guard,

Neither the lion approves a guard

while the dog guards the sheep.

Nor does the dog guard the sheep.
