يا خَليلي يا أَبا الغَيث درك

نَصب القاضي لَكَ اليَوم شرك

My friend, the storm's father, your concern

The judge set up for you today a trap

طَلَب البَرطيل فَاِبذله لَهُ

يَسكُت القاضي وإِلا ذكرك

The officer asked for bribes, so grant him

The judge would hush if you don't fund his sap

لا يَهولنك دينيّتُه

أَعطه مِن رَشوة ما حضرك

Don't let his faith alarm or stir you

Just pay what bribe you can to hush this chap
