Chou nater min basharWhat are you expecting from people,
Byikhlis ismon bi kelmet sharwhose very name ends with the word ‘evil’?
Min jarhon w azahon abadan ma fi mafarrThere’s no escape from the wounds and harm they cause,
Bas enta dallak tayyeb tayyebbut you must remain kind, always kind,
Law el taybe bitdorreven if that kindness causes you pain.
Ma tehzak khsaret hadaDon’t let the loss of anyone shake you,
Shwayyet ghabra w naffedait’s merely dust, so shake it off.
Fi nas allah bibaaedaThere are people God removes from your life
Hatta el soh yfarjinijust to reveal the right path to you.
Kell fekri rah tehmineeI truly thought you would protect me
Lamma el deni te’zeeniwhen the world tried to hurt me.
Ma tawaqqaat waqt el ghadrI never expected, at the moment of betrayal,
Tetlaa enta el sekkeenithat you would turn out to be the knife.
Ma tsaddaq gharib byi’ziDon’t believe that strangers cause the hurt,
El aza byiji min el qarayebfor the deepest pain comes from those closest to you.
Adowwak korho wadehYour enemy’s hatred is clear and open,
Mish metl el as-habunlike the deception of friends.
Sheft el madi w shou’ouroI’ve seen the past and all its feelings,
Rah sheelo min jozouroand I’m tearing it out by the roots.
W amnaa zakerti tezouroI’ll forbid my memory from visiting it again,
Aw shi yzakkerni fihor letting anything remind me of it.
Ma tehzak khsaret hadaDon’t let the loss of anyone shake you,
Shwayyet ghabra w naffedait’s merely dust, so shake it off.
Fi nas allah bibaaedaThere are people God removes from your life
Hatta el soh yfarjinijust to reveal the right path to you.
Kell fekri rah tehmineeI truly thought you would protect me
Lamma el deni te’zeeniwhen the world tried to hurt me.
Ma tawaqqaat waqt el ghadrI never expected, at the moment of betrayal,
Tetlaa enta el sekkeenithat you would turn out to be the knife.
