غضبتْ لي السماءُ والأرضُ والنا

غضبتْ لي السماءُ والأرضُ والنا

سُ على ابن اللَّبُونِ إسماعيلِ

سُ على ابن اللَّبُونِ إسماعيلِ

Heaven, earth, and the people grew angry on my behalf

The sky, earth, and people were angry with

against Ibn al-Labūn, Ismāʿīl.

The son of Laboon, Ismail

ولما أسْخَطَ السماءَ مع الأر

ولما أسْخَطَ السماءَ مع الأر

ضِ مع الناسِ غيرُ سُخْطِ الجليل

ضِ مع الناسِ غيرُ سُخْطِ الجليل

And why should heaven, together with earth,

And when the sky was enraged with

and mankind, be angered by anything but the Majestic's wrath?

The earth and people, apart from the Majestic

أنكر اللَّهُ أن يُرى مثلُ مدحي

أنكر اللَّهُ أن يُرى مثلُ مدحي

في أبي الفقْرِ وهْو غيرُ مُنيل

في أبي الفقْرِ وهْو غيرُ مُنيل

God disapproved of seeing praise like mine

God denied that praise like mine

for Abū al-Faqr, though he gives nothing.

Would be seen for the father of destitution while he is unattainable

فرماهُ بكوكبٍ هاشميٍّ

فرماهُ بكوكبٍ هاشميٍّ

كان أدْهى له من السِّجِّيل

كان أدْهى له من السِّجِّيل

So He struck him with a Hashimite star,

So He struck him with a Hashimite star

more ruinous to him than stones of baked clay.

That was more painful for him than flaming rods

ولقد كادَ ما استطاعَ ولكنْ

ولقد كادَ ما استطاعَ ولكنْ

جُعل الكيدُ منهُ في تضليل

جُعل الكيدُ منهُ في تضليل

Indeed, he schemed as much as he could, but

And he nearly accomplished what he could, but

his scheming was brought to naught.

The scheme against him was made to fail

سال ذاك النجيعُ من ذلك العب

سال ذاك النجيعُ من ذلك العب

د ودمْعُ الباكيهِ كلَّ مسيل

د ودمْعُ الباكيهِ كلَّ مسيل

That dark blood flowed from that slave,

That wretched man wept from that

and his mourners' tears flowed down every channel.

And the tears of the mourners flowed like springs

ولْيُطِلْ مُعْوِلٌ عليه عَوِيلاً

ولْيُطِلْ مُعْوِلٌ عليه عَوِيلاً

إنه في لظًى طويل العويل

إنه في لظًى طويل العويل

Let a mourner prolong his wailing over him;

Let the wailing swoop down on him with prolonged

for he is in blazing fire, wailing long.

Wailing, for he is in intense, long-lasting agony

لا سقى اللَّهُ جسمَهُ من حيا المُز

لا سقى اللَّهُ جسمَهُ من حيا المُز

نِ ولا رُوحَه من السلسبيل

نِ ولا رُوحَه من السلسبيل

May God never water his body with rain from the clouds,

May God not quench his body with the water of life

nor his soul with water from Salsabīl.

Nor his soul with the water of Paradise
