قَلبٌ تَكَوَّن مِن ضَرم
وَمَدامع تَحكي الديم
A heart formed of anguish
And tears that tell of blood
أَبَداً يورس وَكفها
جسماً تَجسَّم مِن سَقم
Her hands forever shackled
A body embodied by torment
وَأَنا الفِداء لَجائِر
في حُكمِهِ لَما حَكَم
And I am the sacrifice for the tyrant
In his unjust rule when he ruled
أَجفانُهُ تَصمي القُلو
ب وَنطقهُ يُحيي الرِمَم
His eyelids deafen hearts
And his words revive decay
يا بئس ما فَعل الغَرا
م وَوَيحُهُ مَن ذا ظلم
Oh how dreadful the deeds of the unchaste one
And woe to him, who could bear such injustice?
بَنّا فَلا وَاللَهُ ما
خَدَش النَوى رَعي الذِمَم
By God we did not, we did not
Graze the blossoms, shepherd of sins
