وَكُلُّ خَليلٍ عَلَيهِ الرِعا

ثُ وَالجُبُلاتُ كَذوبٌ مَلِق

Every friend is covered in doubt and falsehood

And the mountains are nothing but lies

وَقامَت إِلَيَّ فَأَحلَفتُها

بِهَديٍ قَلائِدُهُ تَختَنِق

She stood and swore to me

By the necklaces that strangle her neck

بِأَن لا أَخونَكَ فيما عَلِم

تَ فَإِنَّ الخِيانَةَ شَرٌّ خَلِق

That I will not betray you in what I know

For betrayal is the worst trait
