1 Ma tachkur nafsak
fi l-tisawwiih ambaakir
achaan fi l-yoom da,
inta ma taʼarif chunu yukuun.
2 Ma tachkur nafsak,
khalli al-aakhariin yachkuruuk
wa ma tamdah nafsak,
khalli al-naas yamdahook.
3 Sahiih, al-hajar tagiil
wa chuwaal al-turaab kula tagiil
wa laakin machaakil al-munaafikh
tugaal minhum.
4 Al-zaʼal yikhawwif
wa l-khadab yaglib misil al-seel.
Wa laakin yaatu yagdar yagiif
giddaam al-husud ?
5 Akheer al-rafiig al-yuluumak
min al-yilabbid reedtah leek.
6 Juruuh al-rafiig, induhum amaan
wa laakin hubb al-adu, khachchaach.
7 Al-chabʼaan yifajjikh al-asal al-saafi
wa laakin al-jiiʼaan, al-hamdal kula halu leyah.
8 Al-raajil al-jara min beetah
misil al-teer al-khalla uchchah.
9 Al-itir wa l-bakhuur yifarruhu al-galib
wa hubb al-rafiig yinlagi fi wasiiytah al-naafiʼ.
10 Ma tikhalli rafiigak wa la rafiig abuuk
wa fi wakt al-diige ma tamchi fi beet akhuuk.
Jaar gariib akheer min akhu baʼiid.
11 Ya wileedi, abga hakiim wa farrih galbi
wa be da, nagdar nurudd le l-yuluumuuni.
12 Al-aagil yichiif al-charr wa yibaariih
wa laakin al-jaahil yagaʼ foogah wa yiʼaaziih.
13 Al-yadman naadum ma maʼruuf,
chiil khalagah
wa kan yadman ajnabiiye,
akrub minnah damaan.
14 Al-yibakkir le yisallim akhuuh be awwa,
barakatah di, yajʼalooha leyah laʼana.
15 Al-mara al-daayman mukhaalife,
khilaafha ma yagiif
misil tchaktchaak al-iine.
16 Ma tinkarib misil al-riih
wa misil al-dihin fi batun al-iid.
17 Al-hadiid yitarrig al-hadiid
wa l-insaan yitarrig al-insaan.
18 Al-yirayyis zereʼ al-tamur
yaakul min tamrah.
Wa l-khaddaam al-yifakkir fi siidah
yalga charaf.
19 Fi l-almi, yinchaaf wijh al-insaan
wa fi galbah, tinchaaf nafsah.
20 Chahwat al-insaan abadan ma tachbaʼ
misil al-moot wa l-halaak abadan ma yachbaʼo.
21 Be l-naar, al-sayyaakhi yakchif al-dahab wa l-fudda
wa laakin al-insaan yinʼarif be simʼitah.
22 Kan tudugg al-munaafikh
misil daggiin al-khalla
been al-fundug wa l-amuud kula,
abadan ma yikhalli nifaakhah.
23 Aʼarif khanamak adiil
wa rayyis door bahaaymak.
24 Achaan al-khuna ma yuduum ila l-abad
wa l-taaj ma yinhafid min zurriiye le zurriiye.
25 Wakit al-gechch al-yaabis yikammil,
agtaʼ al-haya al-akhdar
wa limm gechch al-gooz.
26 Min suuf al-khurfaan, talbas khalag
wa be taman al-tuyuus, tachri zereʼ.
27 Wa laban inzeek, yitimm le iichtak
wa le iichit beetak wa le khaddaamaatak.
