إنَّ إسماعيل قِرْدٌ مجرمٌ

إن سقاني دَمَهُ اللَّهُ شفاني

Ismael is an ape, a criminal

If his blood quenches my thirst, God heals me

لو رأى آدمُ جهلي لَمْحةً

يوم شاورتُ اليهوديَّ نفاني

Had Adam seen a glimpse of my ignorance

The day I consulted the Jew and he betrayed me

سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عليهِ طِبَّهُ

وكفاه طِبَّهُ لا بَلْ كفاني

God unleashed his medicine upon him

His medicine was enough for him, no rather it destroyed me

لو يُداوِي نفسَهُ من عِلَّةٍ

لَتَدَاعي بالتَّلاشي والتفاني

If he were to cure himself of an illness

He would crumble and fade away
