قَيدي أَما تَعلمني مُسلما

أَبَيتَ أَن تُشفِقَ أَو تَرحَما

My chains, do you not know I am a Muslim?

You refused to show mercy or compassion.

دَمي شَرابٌ لَكَ وَاللَحمُ قَد

أَكَلتهُ لا تَهشم الأَعظُما

My blood is your drink, and the flesh

You have eaten, do not break the bones.

يُبصِرُني فيكَ أَبو هاِشمٍ

فَيَنثَني وَالقَلبُ قَد هُشِّما

Abu Hashim sees me in you,

So he writhes, and his heart is shattered.

اِرحَم طُفَيلاً طائِشاً لُبّهُ

لَم يَخشَ أَن يأتيكَ مُستَرحِما

Have mercy on Tufayl, crazed is his mind,

He did not fear to come to you begging.

واِرحَم طُفَيلاً طائِشاً لُبّهُ

جَرّعتَهُنَّ عَلَيهِ لِلبُكاء العَمى

Have mercy on Tufayl, crazed is his mind.

You made them drink it, causing the blind weeping,

مِنهُنَّ مَن يَفهَم شَيئاً فَقَد

خِفنا عَلَيهِ لِلبُكاء العَمى

Among them is one who understands something, so

We feared for him, causing the blind weeping,

وَالغَيرُ لا يَفهَمُ شَيئاً فَما

يَفتَحُ إِلّا للرّضاعِ فَما

While the other understands nothing, so he

Opens only for suckling, nothing else.
