حسبتي نفسك بالمصلحة دايم تفوزين lyrics

حسبتي نفسك بالمصلحة دايم تفوزين

Ḥasabti nafsik bil-maṣlaḥah dāyim tafūzīn

You thought you'd always win with self-interest

ونسيتِ عشرة عمرٍ وطيب المعاني

Wa nasītī 'ishrat 'umrin wa ṭīb al-ma'ānī

And you forgot a lifetime of companionship and good meanings

رفعتي فسخ النكاح والمحامي توكّلين

Rafa'tī faskh an-nikāḥ wal-muḥāmī tuwakkilīn

You filed for annulment of the marriage and appointed a lawyer

وقلتي مريضٍ نفسي، وجرحتي كياني

Wa qultī marīḍin nafsī, wa jaraḥtī kiyānī

And you said I was mentally ill, and you wounded my being

يمكن زميلات العمل هنّ يحرّضين

Yumkin zamīlāt al-'amal hunna yuḥarriḍīn

Perhaps your female colleagues were inciting you

ويزيّنّ لك دربٍ نهايته أحزاني

Wa yuzayyinn lak darbīn nihāyatuhu aḥzānī

And beautifying for you a path whose end is my sorrows

أنا قبلت بالفسخ والقلب مجروح

Anā qabiltu bil-faskh wal-qalb majrūḥ

I accepted the annulment with a wounded heart

وتنازلت عن مهري بكامل اقتناعي

Wa tanāzaltu 'an maharī bi-kāmil iqtinā'ī

And I waived my dowry with full conviction

طلبتي سكن وقلتي حقي على الزوج

Ṭalabti sakan wa qultī ḥaqqī 'ala az-zawj

You asked for housing and said it was your right from the husband

ورفعتي نفقة سكنٍ دون تروّي

Wa rafa'tī nafaqat sakanin dūna tarawwī

And you raised a housing alimony without consideration

ثمانطعش ألف صدمت كل حساباتك

Thamānta'ashar alf ṣadamat kull ḥisābātik

Eighteen thousand shocked all your calculations

وراتبك ما عاد يكفي التزاماتك

Wa rātibuk mā 'ād yakfī iltizāmātik

And your salary is no longer enough for your commitments

رفضتي تخَلّين البيت رغم المطالب

Rafaḍtī takhallīn al-bayt raghm al-maṭālib

You refused to leave the house despite the demands

ودخلنا شهورٍ في نزاعٍ وقضايا

Wa dakhalnā shuhūrin fī nizā'in wa qaḍāyā

And we entered months of conflict and lawsuits
