لَحاكَ اللَهُ يا شَرَّ المَطايا

أَمِن بابِ المُهَلَّبِ تَنفِرينا

May God destroy you, O most evil of beasts,

Do you frighten us from the gate of torture?

فَلولا أَنَّني رَجُلٌ طِريدٌ

لَكُستِ عَلى ثَلاثٍ تَنعَبينا

If I were not a persecuted man,

I would have pierced you in three places and torn you apart.
