كذب الذي يبدي المود

كذب الذي يبدي المود

ة وهو محتجنّ بمازله

ة وهو محتجنّ بمازله

He lies who displays affec-

He who feigns affection when he hates

-tion while hoarding [unclear wording],

Is like a polished dagger - still your mate?

حتى تكون كمثله

حتى تكون كمثله

ويكون حالك مثل حاله

ويكون حالك مثل حاله

until you become like him,

Till when you are generous and he's kind

and your condition becomes like his.

He stabs you in the back - don't be so blind!
