1. لَحاكِ اللَهُ يا دُنيا خَلوباً

    فَأَنتِ الغادَةُ البِكرُ العَجوزُ

    May God rebuke you, O deceitful world.

    For you are a graceful maiden, a virgin grown old.

  2. وَجَدناكِ الطَريقَ إِلى المَنايا

    وَقَد طالَ المَدى فَمَتى نَجوزُ

    We have found you to be the road to death.

    The journey has stretched long; when shall we pass beyond?

  3. سَئِمنا مِن أَذاكِ فَنَجَّزينا

    فَإِنَّ مُروءَةَ الوَعدِ النُجوزِ

    We are weary of your harm, so fulfill your promise to us.

    For the honor of a promise lies in its fulfillment.
