1. قَلبٌ تَكَوَّن مِن ضَرم

    وَمَدامع تَحكي الديم

    A heart formed of anguish

    And tears that tell of blood

  2. أَبَداً يورس وَكفها

    جسماً تَجسَّم مِن سَقم

    Her hands forever shackled

    A body embodied by torment

  3. وَأَنا الفِداء لَجائِر

    في حُكمِهِ لَما حَكَم

    And I am the sacrifice for the tyrant

    In his unjust rule when he ruled

  4. أَجفانُهُ تَصمي القُلو

    ب وَنطقهُ يُحيي الرِمَم

    His eyelids deafen hearts

    And his words revive decay

  5. 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?

  6. بَنّا فَلا وَاللَهُ ما

    خَدَش النَوى رَعي الذِمَم

    By God we did not, we did not

    Graze the blossoms, shepherd of sins
