دعيني أُقَطِّع عليه الحذاء

وأجز الوقاح على ذنبه

Let me tear his shoes apart

And punish the shameless for his crime

دعينيَ أضربه حتى يفيق

فلا بدّ زينب من ضربه

Let me beat him until he awakes

For Zainab must beat him

قد جاء هيا نتقى

جنونه وهوسه

He came, let's avoid

His madness and obsession

ففي يمينه العصا

وفي الشمال المكنسه

For in his right hand is a stick

And in his left a broom
