قد كان لي حول باسعافه

قد كان لي حول باسعافه

مبالغ الآمال مرجوه

مبالغ الآمال مرجوه

I once had might, through whose aid

I once had high hopes all around me

The loftiest hopes seemed within reach.

Exaggerated were my expectations

والآن حل الضعف عند القوى

والآن حل الضعف عند القوى

منى فلا حول ولا قوه

منى فلا حول ولا قوه

And now weakness has settled among the powers

But now at my strength's prime weakness befell me

Within me, so there is neither might nor strength.

I have nor power nor might
