أَرَدتَ إِهانَتي فَحَماكَ مِنّي

قَضاءٌ فِيَّ كانَ لَهُ نَجوزُ

You wished to humiliate me, but my fate protected me

A decree was made for me that could not be undone

وَجَدتَنِيَ اللُجَينَ أَوِ الثُرَيّا

وَتَصغيرُ المُصَغَّرِ لا يَجوزُ

You found me either tranquil or aloof

And belittling the belittled is not allowed

أَرى الفِتيانَ وَالفَتَياتِ جَمعاً

أَصابَتهُم بِشِرَّتَها العَجوزُ

I see the young men and women together

Afflicted by the wickedness of the old hag
