من المبكياتِ الجِلدَ حتّى كأنّما

تَسُحُّ بعينيهِ الدموعَ شَعيبُ

With constant weeping my skin has toughened as though

Shuaib wipes his tears away with his eyes

ليالي أهلانا جميعاً وحولنا

سوائم منها رائح وغريب

Around us our families spend nights and we are surrounded

By visitors, both familiar and strange

وإذ يتجنين الذنوب ومالنا

اليهن إلا ودهن ذنوب

When sins thrive unchecked, what can we do

But commit more sins continuously
