يخونكَ مَن بهِ تَـثِـقُ

وَينْطِقُ مِثلما نَطقُوا

He who you trust betrays you

And speaks as they spoke

كلامًا ما أصَابَ بهِ

سِوى كَذِبٍ، وما صَدقُوا؟

Words that did not hit

Anything but lies, and they were not truthful

تولّى العابرونَ سُدىً

قِرَى مائي.. الْـ بهِ غَرِقُوا

The passers-by have turned away

From my water villages - in them they drowned

فلا تأمَنْ... كفاكَ هَوَىً

بهِ العُشَّاقُ ما عَشِقُوا

So do not feel safe... your passion is enough

For lovers - what they loved
