يا لورد كم من معان في سياستكم
جرّت إلى القال بين الناس والقيل
O Lord, how many implications your policy holds,
that have given rise among the people to talk and gossip—
كدنشواى وتعيين أردت به
قتل الحمام وإحياء الزغاليل
like Denshawai, and an appointment by which you meant
to kill the pigeons and revive the squabs—the Zaghlouls.
Sol 5.6
