هَزئ الزَمانُ بِحُسَّدي

هَزئ الزَمانُ بِحُسَّدي

أَلمَفخَري يَبغونَ شاوا

Time has scoffed at those who envy me.

Time has cast mockery upon my enviers,

Do they seek to rival my glory?

Do they seek to reach the summit of my glory?

ما ضَرَّني بَغيٌ عَلَي

ما ضَرَّني بَغيٌ عَلَي

يَ فَدَعهُمُ يَبغوا نَشاوى

يَ فَدَعهُمُ يَبغوا نَشاوى

I have not been harmed by aggression against

Their transgression against me has caused no harm,

me; so let them transgress in their drunkenness.

So leave them to pursue their aims in drunken delusion.
