إذا أتانا أمير لم يقل لهم

هيداً وجالت بنامنه الأحابيل

If a prince comes to us, does not say "welcome" to them,

And his dreams are filled with wickedness,

وعض مجهودنا الأقصى وحمله

من المظالم ما لا يحمل الفيل

And he takes our utmost efforts and burdens us

With so much injustice, even an elephant cannot bear,
