قَد غَضِبَت بِنتُ النُمَيرِيَّةِ

قَد غَضِبَت بِنتُ النُمَيرِيَّةِ

وَلي سِواها أَلفُ سُرِّيَّه

وَلي سِواها أَلفُ سُرِّيَّه

The Numayri woman's daughter has indeed grown angry.

The daughter of Numayriya has become angry with me

And besides her, I have a thousand concubines.

While I have a thousand other secret loves

إِذا غَدَت يَوماً إِلى حاجَةٍ

إِذا غَدَت يَوماً إِلى حاجَةٍ

سارَت عَلى أَلفَينِ جُنَّيَّه

سارَت عَلى أَلفَينِ جُنَّيَّه

When she goes out one day on an errand,

If she goes out one day for something she needs

she travels atop two thousand female jinn.

She rides on two thousand demons

وَإِن جَرى ذِكري لَها أَعرَضَت

وَإِن جَرى ذِكري لَها أَعرَضَت

وَمَسَحَت ذِكري بِلا نِيَّه

وَمَسَحَت ذِكري بِلا نِيَّه

And if mention of me reaches her, she turns away,

And if my name is mentioned to her she turns away

and wipes away mention of me without intent.

And wipes out my name without intention

وَضاحِكَت بِنتاً لَها غَثَّةً

وَضاحِكَت بِنتاً لَها غَثَّةً

وَجارَةً عَرجاءَ قَسرِيَّه

وَجارَةً عَرجاءَ قَسرِيَّه

And she laughs with a scrawny daughter of hers,

She laughs at a vulgar, uncouth girl

and a lame Qasri neighbor.

And a lame, hunchbacked neighbor

يَظُنُّها الشَيعَةُ بابَ الهُدى

يَظُنُّها الشَيعَةُ بابَ الهُدى

وَخَلفَ ذاكَ البابِ بَرِّيَّه

وَخَلفَ ذاكَ البابِ بَرِّيَّه

The Shi'a regard her as the gate to guidance,

Her followers think she is the door of guidance

and behind that gate lies a wilderness.

But behind that door is only wickedness
