بَخيلٌ قَد شَقيتُ بِهِ

بَخيلٌ قَد شَقيتُ بِهِ

يَكُدُّ الوَعدَ بِاللَجَجِ

يَكُدُّ الوَعدَ بِاللَجَجِ

A miser who has made me suffer,

Stingy one, I've suffered from him,

who wears out his promise with obstinate wrangling;

He almost breaks his promise out of stubbornness,

عَلى بُستانِ خَدَّيهِ

عَلى بُستانِ خَدَّيهِ

زَرافينَ مِنَ السِيَجِ

زَرافينَ مِنَ السِيَجِ

upon the garden of his cheeks

On the garden of his cheeks,

are ring-bolts of teakwood.

Giraffes from the fence.
