للشخص له طابع lyrics

للشخص له طابع وللحرف معناه

Lil shakhs lah taba' wa lil harf ma'nah

Each person has a nature, and every letter has its meaning

وكلن ترعرعرع حسب ضرف القساوه

Wa kullun tar'ara'a hasab dharf al qasawah

And everyone grew up according to the circumstances of hardship

احدن يجيلك فيه شده من اقصاه

Ahadin yajeelak feeh shiddah min aqsah

One comes to you with extreme toughness

وحدن يجيلك فيه لين وطراوه

Wa hadin yajeelak feeh leen wa tarawah

And another comes to you with gentleness and softness

مثل الحديد الصلب والصعب يطناه\ومثل العجين ينثني بالهداوه

Mithl al hadeed al sulb wal sa'b yatnah / Wa mithl al 'ajeen yanthani bil hadawah

Like solid iron that is hard to bend, and like dough that bends gently

وانا القصيد الي انبثق من معاناه

Wa ana al qaseed alli inbathaq min mu'anah

And I am the poetry that emerged from suffering

ماهو القصيد الي نشا في رخاوه

Ma hu al qaseed alli nasha fi rakhawah

Not the poetry that arose in ease

حاولت في شعر الغزل لكن الله

Hawalt fi sha'r al ghazal lakin Allah

I tried writing romantic poetry, but God

ماقسم لحرفي نصووص الحلاوه

Ma qasam li harfi nusos al halawah

Did not destine for my letters the sweetness of texts

لاتجفلي يابنت من غلطت حكاه

La tajfali ya bint min ghaltat hakah

Don't be startled, girl, by a mistake in his speech

اموت عز ولا التفت لرداووه

Amoot 'izz wala altafit li radawah

I'd rather die with dignity than turn to baseness

يابنت.ماعودت فاهي على الاهه

Ya bint, ma 'awwadt fahi 'ala al ahah

Girl, I haven't accustomed my mouth to sighing

راسي ثقيل ومابعقلي فهاوه

Rasi thaqeel wa ma bi 'aqli fahawah

My head is heavy, and there's no foolishness in my mind

لشيخ وابن الشيخ مافي محاباه

Lil sheikh wa ibn al sheikh ma fi muhabah

For the sheikh and the son of the sheikh, there is no favoritism

والهرج اصله درك خالي طلاوهه

Wal harj aslah darak khali talawah

And talk, its origin is understanding, devoid of superficiality

خل الهمل تمشي وتجري وتبراه

Khall al hamal tamshi wa tajri wa tabrah

Let the idle walk, run, and follow it

مثل الضياخ الي بليا ذراوه

Mithl al dhayakh alli bi la dhrawah

Like the dust that has no shelter

محسوب لي لو بخسو شخصي ارداه

Mahsoob li law bakhsoo shakhsi ardah

I am esteemed, even if they underestimate my person

عالي قدر ماني ادور علاوه

Aali qadr ma ani adawwir 'alawah

Of high standing, I am not looking for a bonus

عند الرجال الصح ماهو بالاشباه

Ind al rijal al sah ma hu bil ashbah

Among true men, not among the likes

الي غدون رجال حسب الفضاوهه

Alli ghadaw rijal hasab al fadawah

Who became men according to their leisure

مادامها ارض الله والملك لله

Ma damha ard Allah wal mulk lillah

As long as it is God's earth and the dominion belongs to God

والله مادور عند عبده رضاوه..

Wallah ma adawwir 'ind 'abdah ridah

By God, I do not seek satisfaction from His servant

ونكان ف ايد العبد يقطع علي ماه

Wa in kan fi eed al 'abd yaqta' 'alayya mah

And if it were in the hand of a servant to cut off my water

عزالله الا اموت جوع وضماوه

'Azz Allah illa amoot joo' wa dhamawah

By God, I would rather die of hunger and thirst

والي يحسب الرزق ع فلان. والجاه

Walli yahsib al rizq 'ala fulan wal jah

And whoever counts sustenance on so-and-so, and status
