لَيتَ الكِلابَ لَنا كانَت مُجاوِرَةً

وَلَيتَنا لا نَرى مِمّا نَرى أَحَدا

I wish the dogs were our neighbors

And we did not see anyone we see

إِنَّ الكِلابَ لَتَهدي في مَواطِنِها

وَالخَلقُ لَيسَ بِهادٍ شَرُّهُم أَبَدا

Dogs indeed guide in their dens

While people are not guiding, their evil is endless

فَاِهرُب بِنَفسِكَ وَاِستَأنِس بِوِحدَتِها

تَبقى سَعيداً إِذا ما كُنتَ مُنفَرِدا

So escape with yourself and befriend its solitude

You will remain happy when you are alone
