وأعبدُ أن أسبهُمُ بقومي

وأتركَ دارمَا وبني رياحِ

I wish I could blame them along with my people,

And leave my home and kin to the winds,

أولئك إنْ سَبَبتُ كِفاءَ قومي

وأجدَرُ أن أعاقبَ بالنجاحِ

If I were to blame, I'd be as worthy as my people,

And more deserving to be punished for succeeding.
