يا مَليكاً بنَشوةِ الراحِ مُثقَل

يا مَليكاً بنَشوةِ الراحِ مُثقَل

يا لحاظَ الكِلاب يا قَلبض إِيَّل

يا لحاظَ الكِلاب يا قَلبض إِيَّل

O king, weighed down with the intoxication of wine!

O king intoxicated by the breeze of comfort

O you with dogs' eyes, O you with a stag's heart!

O dog's bedding, O heart of a vile man

لم تكن قطُّ كُفءَ خَوضِ المَنايا

لم تكن قطُّ كُفءَ خَوضِ المَنايا

بَينض قَومش الإِغرِيقِ إِن يَعل قَسطَل

بَينض قَومش الإِغرِيقِ إِن يَعل قَسطَل

You were never equal to braving death

You were never equal to facing tribulations

among the Greeks when the dust of battle rises.

Among your Greek people, if only you knew, you scoundrel

لم تَقُد قطُّ صِيدَهَمُ بِكَمِينٍ

لم تَقُد قطُّ صِيدَهَمُ بِكَمِينٍ

كلُّ هذا يُرِيكَ مَوتاً مُعَجَّل

كلُّ هذا يُرِيكَ مَوتاً مُعَجَّل

You never led their proud chiefs into an ambush;

You have never hunted their game with traps

all this looks to you like an early death.

All this will bring you sudden death

هو خَيرٌ عَلمتَ أن تَستَرِدَّ ال

هو خَيرٌ عَلمتَ أن تَستَرِدَّ ال

سهَّمَ مِمَّن يَصُدُّ قولَكَ إِن ضَل

سهَّمَ مِمَّن يَصُدُّ قولَكَ إِن ضَل

It is better, you know, to reclaim the

It is best you take back

share from whoever opposes your word if it goes astray.

What you claimed against those who deny your words if they stray

أنتَ ذا الشَّعبَ قد فرَستَ بظُلمٍ

أنتَ ذا الشَّعبَ قد فرَستَ بظُلمٍ

حيثُ بَينَ الأَنذالِ كُنتَ المُفَضَّل

حيثُ بَينَ الأَنذالِ كُنتَ المُفَضَّل

You have preyed unjustly upon this people,

You are the one who judged your people unjustly

since you were the favored one among base men.

When you were the chosen one among the ignoble

كُنتَ لولا هذا أَ أَترِيذُ في ذا ال

كُنتَ لولا هذا أَ أَترِيذُ في ذا ال

حِين تَلقى هُوناً أَخيراً وتُخذَل

حِين تَلقى هُوناً أَخيراً وتُخذَل

Were it not for this, O Atreides, you would at this

You would have, had it not been for this

hour meet final disgrace and be forsaken.

Be a disciple among the disciples and meet disgrace in the end

لَكَ مِنّي نُبُوءَةٌ ويمينٌ

لَكَ مِنّي نُبُوءَةٌ ويمينٌ

اُثقِلَت في ذَا الصَّولَجانِ المُبَجَّل

اُثقِلَت في ذَا الصَّولَجانِ المُبَجَّل

For you, from me, a prophecy and an oath,

I have an omen for you and a vow

given weight by this revered scepter:

That weighed heavy in this honored club

محجَنٌ لَن يَزهُو لهُ وَرَقٌ مُذ

محجَنٌ لَن يَزهُو لهُ وَرَقٌ مُذ

راحَ عن جِذعِهِ على الشُّمّ يُفصَل

راحَ عن جِذعِهِ على الشُّمّ يُفصَل

a hooked staff on which leaves shall never flourish, since

A pruning saw whose leaves will never flourish

it was severed from its trunk upon the lofty peaks.

Once separated from its trunk in the sun

كيفَ يَزهُو وقاطِعُ الحَدِّ عَرَّا

كيفَ يَزهُو وقاطِعُ الحَدِّ عَرَّا

هُ وهَيهاتِ بعدَ ذلكَ يَخضَل

هُ وهَيهاتِ بعدَ ذلكَ يَخضَل

How could it flourish, when the keen-edged blade has stripped

How can it flourish when the sharp cutter

it bare? And never after that could it grow green again.

Is he who will cut it, never to thrive again

إِي وذَا الصَّولَجَانِ وَهوَ وَلِيٌّ

إِي وذَا الصَّولَجَانِ وَهوَ وَلِيٌّ

لِجُمُوعِ الإِغرِيقِ في العَقدِ والحَل

لِجُمُوعِ الإِغرِيقِ في العَقدِ والحَل

Indeed, by this scepter, which is guardian

By this club and its guardian

of the Greek hosts in binding and unbinding,

To the masses of Greeks in agreement and dispute

بَينَ أَيدِيهِمِ يُناطُ وَهُم حُفَّ

بَينَ أَيدِيهِمِ يُناطُ وَهُم حُفَّ

ظُ شَرعٍ لزَفسَ فِيهِم تَنَزَّل

ظُ شَرعٍ لزَفسَ فِيهِم تَنَزَّل

entrusted to their hands; they are guardians

In their hands it is placed while they are protected

of Zeus's law, which descended among them.

By a law sent down upon them

قَسَمي وهو أُلوَةٌ لكَ كُبرى

قَسَمي وهو أُلوَةٌ لكَ كُبرى

سَوف يبكِي أَخيلَ جَيشٌ مُنَكَّل

سَوف يبكِي أَخيلَ جَيشٌ مُنَكَّل

Such is my oath, a mighty oath to you:

I swear by it as it is a great refuge for you

a ravaged army will weep for Achilles

The Achaean army will weep defeated

حِينض هَكطُورُ فِيهش يَبطُشُ بَطشاً

حِينض هَكطُورُ فِيهش يَبطُشُ بَطشاً

وَترُومُ الذّيادَ عَنهُ فَتَفشَل

وَترُومُ الذّيادَ عَنهُ فَتَفشَل

when Hector strikes violently in its midst,

When Hector unleashes his might against them

and you seek to defend it, only to fail.

And the wolves turn away from him and withdraw

فَبِكض النَّفسُ تَصطَلِي وَهيَ حَنقى

فَبِكض النَّفسُ تَصطَلِي وَهيَ حَنقى

مِنكَ إِذ كِدتَ خَيرَ شَهمٍ وأَبسَل

مِنكَ إِذ كِدتَ خَيرَ شَهمٍ وأَبسَل

So your soul will burn within you, furious

The soul will cry bitterly, resentful of you

with you, since you plotted against the finest and bravest of gallant men.

When you almost ruined the best of resolute men
