1. قَد فاضَت الدُنِّيا بِأَدناسِها

    عَلى بَراياها وَأَجناسِها

    The world has indeed overflowed with its filth

    Upon its creatures and their kinds.

  2. وَالشَرُّ في العالَمِ حَتّى الَّتي

    مَكسِبُها مِن فَضلِ عِرناسِها

    And evil is in the world—even in her

    Whose livelihood comes from her spindle's yield.

  3. وَكُلُّ حَيٍّ فَوقَها ظالِمٌ

    وَما بِها أَظلَمُ مِن ناسِها

    And every living being upon it is unjust,

    And none upon it is more unjust than its people.
