أَحَسِبتَ مَجلِسَنا وحُس

نَ حَديثنا يُودي بِمالِك

Did you think our sitting here and talking nicely

Would make me give up Mālik?

فَالمالُ والأَهلُونَ مَصرَ

عَةٌ لأَمركَ أو نَكَالِك

No, family and money are an origin

For your affairs, or your death.

ما تَأمُرَن فينا فأَم

رُكَ في يَمينِكَ أو شَمالِك

Command me as you wish! Whether to your right

Or your left, I shall obey your command.
