تبّت يدا من عقّ والده وتبّْ

فإنّه وماله وما كسبْ

Cursed are the hands that strike a parent, and cursed

Be he, his wealth, and all that he has earned,

إذ كان في وجوده هو السببْ

وطالما ربّاه بالبرّ وربّْ

For he was the cause, since his birth,

And for long his parent nurtured him with kindness and care
