وَإِنَّكَ إِذ تَغتالُ عِرضَكَ ظالِماً

وَإِنَّكَ إِذ تَغتالُ عِرضَكَ ظالِماً

And you, when you treacherously destroy your honor, acting unjustly,

When you wrong yourself, acting unjustly,

You are like one who carries a burden upon a burden.

لَكالحامِلِ الأَوزارِ وَزراً على وزرِ

لَكالحامِلِ الأَوزارِ وَزراً على وزرِ

are surely like one bearing burdens of sin, burden upon burden.

At a time when I do not fend off harm from an insolent foe,

Nor harvest fruit from an unjust oppressor's palm tree.

عَلى حينِ لا أَمشِي الضَراءَ لِكاشِحٍ

عَلى حينِ لا أَمشِي الضَراءَ لِكاشِحٍ

Whereas I do not creep through the thickets against a spiteful

عَدُوٍّ وَلا يَجتَنُّ مِن ظالِمٍ وَتَري

عَدُوٍّ وَلا يَجتَنُّ مِن ظالِمٍ وَتَري

enemy, nor is my vengeance hidden from a wrongdoer.
