أَلَم تَرَني بُليتَ بِشَرِّ قَومٍ

أَلَم تَرَني بُليتَ بِشَرِّ قَومٍ

أَمَلُّ إِذا لَقيتُهُمُ حَياتي

أَمَلُّ إِذا لَقيتُهُمُ حَياتي

Have you not seen me afflicted with the worst of people?

Did you not see me afflicted by the evil of a people,

I grow weary of my life whenever I meet them.

Whose life I hope for when I meet them,

إِذا المُغتَرُّ لاحَ لَهُم بَدَوهُ

إِذا المُغتَرُّ لاحَ لَهُم بَدَوهُ

بِأَيمانٍ كَمِثلِ الأُمَّهاتِ

بِأَيمانٍ كَمِثلِ الأُمَّهاتِ

When an unsuspecting man appears to them, they accost him

When the deceived shone to them in his light,

With oaths like mothers.

With oaths like those of mothers.
