قالوا جنونٌ قلتُ إي والذي

يقدرُ الهمَّ لمن يعقلونْ

They said it was madness, I said yes, by Him

Who can appreciate the worries of those deemed sane.

انقلبَ الدهرُ بأبنائهِ

لذا ترى العقلَ غدا في البطونْ

Time has turned its back on its people,

So sanity now dwells in the womb.

جنوننا ما دامَ في رأسنا

عقلٌ وهم من عقلهمْ في جنونْ

Our madness, as long as it's in our heads,

Is reason; while their reason is madness.

وما على الناسِ من الناسِ يا

ليتَ إذ لم يعرفوا يعرفونْ

People should leave people be! Oh,

If only they didn't know, they'd know.
