يا ويحَ فَضلي أمَا في النَّاسِ مِن رَجُلٍ

يا ويحَ فَضلي أمَا في النَّاسِ مِن رَجُلٍ

يَحنُو علَيَّ أمَا في الأرضِ من مَلَكِ

يَحنُو علَيَّ أمَا في الأرضِ من مَلَكِ

Alas for my worth! Is there no man among the people

Oh my worth, is there no man among people

to show me kindness? Is there no angel on earth?

Who pities me, no angel on earth?

لأُكرِمَنَّكَ يا فَضلِي بِتَركِهِمُ

لأُكرِمَنَّكَ يا فَضلِي بِتَركِهِمُ

وأَستَهِيننَّ بالأيامِ والفَلَكِ

وأَستَهِيننَّ بالأيامِ والفَلَكِ

I shall surely honor you, O my worth, by forsaking them,

I will honor you, my worth, by leaving them

and I shall surely make light of the days and the celestial sphere.

And make light of days and fate's turns
