يا ظالِماً في كُلِّ أَفْعالِهِ

مَا شِئْتَ فَاصْنَعْ فَلَنا مَوْقِفُ

O oppressor in all his deeds

Do as you wish, for we have our stance

رَضِيتُ بِالقَسْرِ بِظُلْمِ الهَوى

مَنْ خَصْمُهُ القاضي مَتى يُنْصَفُ

I am content with coercion and the injustice of passion

When will one have justice if the judge is his opponent?

يَحْلِفُ بِاللَهِ فَيا لَيْتَهُ

إِذا أَرادَ الخُلْفَ لا يَحْلِفُ

He swears by Allah, oh if only

When he intends to break his word, he would not swear

إِنِّي لأَسْتَحْيي إِذا مَرَّ بي

فَقِيلَ هذا المَوعِدُ المُخْلِفُ

I am ashamed when it is said as I pass by
