أَسلَمَني قَومي وَلَم يَغضَبوا

لِسَوأَةٍ حَلَّت بِهِم فادِحَه

My people handed me over and were not angry

For a terrible misfortune that befell them

كُلُّ خَليلٍ كُنتُ خالَلتُهُ

لا تَرَكَ اللَهُ لَهُ واضِحَه

Every friend whose friendship I cultivated

God left him no clear way out

كُلُّهُمُ أَروَغُ مِن ثَعلَبٍ

ما أَشبَهَ اللَيلَةَ بِالبارِحَه

They are all more cunning than a fox

How much tonight resembles last night
