أَتَتكَ رِجالٌ مِن تَميمٍ فَشَهَّدوا

أَتَتكَ رِجالٌ مِن تَميمٍ فَشَهَّدوا

فَضَيَّعتَ حَقَّ اللَهِ في ظُلمِ مالِكِ

فَضَيَّعتَ حَقَّ اللَهِ في ظُلمِ مالِكِ

Men from Tamim came to you, then bore witness.

Men from Tameem came to you bearing witness

So you neglected God's due by wronging Malik.

Yet you neglected God's right in your darkness

وَأَنفَقتَ مالَ اللَهِ في غَيرِ حَقِّهِ

وَأَنفَقتَ مالَ اللَهِ في غَيرِ حَقِّهِ

عَلى نَهرِكَ المَشؤومِ غَيرِ المُبارَكِ

عَلى نَهرِكَ المَشؤومِ غَيرِ المُبارَكِ

And you spent God's wealth where it did not rightfully belong,

And spent God's money wrongfully

On your ill-omened, unblessed river.

On your ill-omened, unblessed river
