تولت جدّة الدنيا

فكل جديدها خَلقُ

The world has become old

So all that's new in it is a creation

وخان الناس كلهم

فما أدري بمَن أثِقُ

And all the people have been treacherous

So I don't know whom to trust

كأن معالم الخيرا

ت قد سُدّت لها الطُرقُ

It's as if the paths of virtues

Have been blocked for it

فلا دين ولا حسبٌ

ولا كرم ولا خلُقُ

So there's no faith, no lineage

No generosity, no manners
