أَيري عَلَيَّ مَعَ الزَما

أَيري عَلَيَّ مَعَ الزَما

نِ فَمَن أَذُمُّ وَمَن أَلومُ

نِ فَمَن أَذُمُّ وَمَن أَلومُ

My cock is against me, along with time;

Does time pass me by,

so whom do I blame, and whom do I reproach?

Then who can I blame, who can I accuse,

الشَأنُ في أَيري يُقَو

الشَأنُ في أَيري يُقَو

وَمُ لِلقِيامِ فَلا يَقومُ

وَمُ لِلقِيامِ فَلا يَقومُ

The trouble is with my cock: it is straightened

The matter is with time itself, it empowers me,

to stand, yet it does not stand.

Yet for taking a stand, it does not empower me.
