من الصُّبح ما يبدُو سَناهُ لناظري
O you two keepers of the treasury prison, let in
Oh my two companions in the prison of confinement
Whatever gleam of dawn appears to my eye.
In the morning what appears to me is not clear
فوَاللهِfor, by God ماnot أدرىI know أطَرفِىَwhether my eye ساهرٌawake
فوَاللهِ ما أدرى أطَرفِىَ ساهرٌ

على طول هذا الليلِ أم غيرُ ساهرِ
For, by God, I do not know whether my eye is awake
By Allah I don't know if my eyes are awake
Through this long night, or not awake.
All night long or not awake
وماand not كنتُI was أخشىI fear قبلbefore سَجنكماyour imprisoning me, you two علىfor

دموعَى أن يقطُرنَ خوفَ المقاطِرِ
And before you two imprisoned me, I never feared for
And I did not fear before your imprisonment
My tears—that they might drip in fear of the stocks.
That my tears would drip in fear of rain
وماand not لىَfor me مَنanyone whom أشكوI complain إليهto him أذاكماthe harm you two cause

And I have no one to complain to of the harm you two inflict
And I have no one to complain to but you two
Except the king of the world, Shuja ibn Shawar.
Except the king of the world, courageous son of Shawir
Sol 6.1
