أرى القاضي يشاركُ كلَّ حيٍّ

أرى القاضي يشاركُ كلَّ حيٍّ

وليسَ المَيْتُ ينجو مِنْ يَدَيْهِ

وليسَ المَيْتُ ينجو مِنْ يَدَيْهِ

I see the judge claim a share from every living soul,

I see the judge shares with all the living,

And not even the dead escape his hands;

Yet the dead cannot escape his grasp.

وأُقْسِمُ إنَّه لو مات أيرٌ

وأُقْسِمُ إنَّه لو مات أيرٌ

تَوَرَّثَ منه إحْدى خِصْيَتَيهِ

تَوَرَّثَ منه إحْدى خِصْيَتَيهِ

I swear, if a penis were to die,

And I swear if the one-eyed man died,

He would inherit from it one of its testicles.

He'd inherit one of his testicles.
