1. مَتَى أَرَى الحَقَّ فَوْقَ باطِلِهِمْ

    وقَدْ تَبَدَّلَ صَوْلاتٌ بِصَوْلاتِ

    When shall I see truth above their falsehood,

    And onslaughts exchanged for onslaughts,

  2. ويُنْشَدُ العَدْلُ في أَمْنٍ وفي دَعَةٍ

    دَوْلاتُهُمْ قَدْ تَقَضَّتْ عِنْدَ دَوَلاتي

    And justice sought in safety and ease?

    Their turns of power have ended with the coming of mine.

  3. أَوْقَاتُهُمْ ذَهَبَتْ في غَيْرِ مَكْرُمَةٍ

    فاسْتَبْشروا قَدْ أَتَاكُمْ طِيبُ أَوْقاتِي

    Their days passed without a noble deed.

    So rejoice: the goodness of my days has come to you.
