شهدت عليك بطيب المشا

ش وأنك بحر جواد خضم

I bear witness that you are generous and kind

Like a vast, bounteous sea, unrestrained

وأنك سيد أهل الجحيم

إذا ما ترديت فيمن ظلم

You are foremost amongst those in hell

When you attack those who do wrong

نظيراً لهامان في قعرها

وفرعون والمكتنى بالحكم

A match to Haman in its darkest depths

And Pharaoh, drunk on power

كفاني المجوسي مهر الرباب

فدى للمجوسي خالي وعم

The singer's art was gift enough for me

To ransom my uncle and cousin for him
