كُونُوا مَعِي عَوناً عَلَى الأيَّامِ

لا تَخْذُلُونِي يا بَنِي عرَّامِ

Stay with me as support in my days

Do not desert me, O sons of 'Arram

إنْ كانَ يُرضِيكَمْ وحاشا فَضلَكُمْ

ضُرِّي فَحَسْبِي زَلْقَةُ الحَمَّامِ

If it pleases you - far be it from your grace -

My misfortune is enough, a slip of the pigeon
