ذهب الذين يعاش فى اكنافهم

وبقيت فى خلف بلا اكناف

Those with whom life was lived are gone

And I remain behind, unprotected,

بطيالس وقلانس محشوة

يتعاشرون بقلة الانصاف

With hypocrites and ingrates

Who lack all generosity,

ما شئت من حال وفره مراكب

أبواب دورهم بلا أجواف

However much I wish for a condition to sail away

The doors of their homes are hollow.
