يا شبابي أفسَدْتَ صالحَ ديني

يا مشيبي نَغَّصْتَ طِيّبَ عيشي

يا مشيبي نَغَّصْتَ طِيّبَ عيشي

O my youth, you have corrupted the virtue of my faith.

My youth, you have corrupted my righteous faith

O my gray hair, you have embittered the sweetness of my life.

My old age, you have embittered my sweet life

فعدوان أنتما لا صديقا

فعدوان أنتما لا صديقا

ن تلاعبتما بحلمي و طيشي

Toying with my dreams and folly
