بالشّعب كَذا عن يَمْنَةِ الحيّ قفِ

واذْكرْ جُملاً من شَرْحِ حالي وَصِفِ

With the people thus from the right side of the alley stop,

And remember some of the explanation of my state describe.

إنْ هُمُ رُحَمّوا كان وإلا حَسبي

مِنْهُمُ وكفى بأن فيهم تلفي

If they had mercy, so it was, and if not, enough for me

From them, and sufficient that among them you intermix.
