الآنَ حينَ عَرَفتُ رُش

دي وَاِغتَدَيتُ عَلى حَذَر

Now that I have known my own folly

And guarded myself with care

وَنَهَيتُ نَفسي فَاِنتَهَت

وَزَجَرتُ قَلبي فَاِنزَجَر

And restrained my soul, so it was restrained

And curbed my heart, so it was curbed

وَلَقَد أَقامَ عَلى الضَلا

لَةِ ثُمَّ أَذعَنَ وَاِستَمَر

Long did it persist in error

Then yielded and persevered

هَيهاتَ لَستُ أَبا فِرا

سٍ إِن وَفَيتُ لِمَن غَدَر

Alas! I am no coward

If I keep faith with the betrayer
