كُنّا نَفِرُّ مِنَ الوُلا

ةِ الجائِرينَ إِلى القُضاةِ

We fled from the oppression of tyrants to judges

nors who were unjust, to the judges.

Now we flee from the injustice of judges to tyrants

فَالآنَ نَحنُ نَفِرُّ مِن

فَالآنَ نَحنُ نَفِرُّ مِن

جَورِ القُضاةِ إِلى الوُلاةِ

جَورِ القُضاةِ إِلى الوُلاةِ

But now we flee from

the judges’ injustice to the governors.
