قولوا له عنّي ولا تجزعوا
منْ شرِّهِ يا ساخِرَ العينِ
Tell him for me and do not fear
His evil eye, O mocker
لو كنتُ أرضى ما تقلدتَهُ
جلسْتُ من فوقكَ باثنين
Had I been pleased with what you wore
I'd be two steps above you
قولوا له عنّي ولا تجزعوا
منْ شرِّهِ يا ساخِرَ العينِ
Tell him for me and do not fear
His evil eye, O mocker
لو كنتُ أرضى ما تقلدتَهُ
