دهاني من كلفت به صغيراً

He whom I loved in youth has brought me grief.
I hold him above shameful deeds.

فكان معي كعيسو مع أخيه
وكنتand I was لهto him كإسحقlike Isaac الذبيحthe sacrificial victim
وكنت له كإسحق الذبيح
So he was to me as Esau was to his brother,
And I was to him like Isaac, the sacrificial victim.
