لا تُهِنّي بعد إكرامِكَ لي

لا تُهِنّي بعد إكرامِكَ لي

فشديدٌ عادةٌ مُنتَزَعَه

فشديدٌ عادةٌ مُنتَزَعَه

Do not humiliate me after you have honored me.

Do not disgrace me after honoring me,

For losing what one is accustomed to is painful.

For habit once ingrained is hard to renounce.

لا يكن بَرقُكَ بَرقاً خُلَّباً

لا يكن بَرقُكَ بَرقاً خُلَّباً

إنّ خير البَرقِ ما الغيثُ مَعَه

إنّ خير البَرقِ ما الغيثُ مَعَه

Let your lightning not be rainless lightning.

Let not your lightning be a fickle flash,

Indeed, the best lightning is that accompanied by rain.

The best lightning is paired with rain.
