وَتَهْتَزُّ فِي مَشْيِهَا مِثْلَ مَا

تَهُزُّ الصَّبَا غُصُنَاً نَاعِمَا

Her walk sways like the gentle branch

Sways in the breeze so soft and mild

وَتَأْمُرُ بِالأَمْرِ فِيْهِ الَّذِي

كَرِهْتُ فَأَرْضَى بِهِ رَاغِمَا

She gives command, though I dislike

What's ordered, I obey and smile

وَأَشْكُو إِلَيْهَا فَلاَ مُسْعِدَاً

أُصَادِفُ مِنْهَا وَلاَ رَاحِمَا

To her I moan, but she's no soother

I find no sympathy nor care

مَتَى يُنْصَفُ الخَصْمُ مِنْ ظَالِمٍ

إِذَا كَانَ ظَالِمُهُ الحَاكِمَا

When can the victim get justice

If his opponent is the judge there
