أَلينُ إِذا لانَ الغَريمُ وَأَلتَوي

إِذا اِشتَدَّ حَتّى يُدرِكَ الدَينَ قاتِلي

I am flexible when the debtor is destitute and twisted

When he is in extreme hardship until he can pay his debt, I fight him

وَأَمطُلُهُ العَصرَينِ حَتّى يَمَلَّني

وَيَرضى بِبَعضِ الدَينِ في غَيرِ نائِلِ

And I give him time until he wearies me

And he is content with paying some of the debt without getting everything he wants
