في حكايةٍ ما انتهت
Fi Hikayatun Ma Intahat
In a story that never ended
والوقت فيها ما نسى

And time in it never forgot
ناسٍ ورثت ذنب السنين
Nasun Warithat Dhanb Al-Sineen
People who inherited the sin of years
وناسٍ على الذنب انبنى
Wa Nasun 'Ala Al-Dhanb Inbana

يمكن يكون أول ضحية
Yumkin Yakoon Awwal Daheeyah

And he who wore the garment of loyalty
يمكن يخون في آخر الحكاية

والخوف ساكن في القلوب
Wal Khawf Sakin Fi Al-Quloob
And fear dwells in hearts
هذاك باع العمر كله

وهذاك باع أقرب قريب

إنه يصير صاحب نصيب
Innahu Yaseer Sahib Naseeb
That he would become a man of destiny

واللي حسب نفسه كبير
Wallee Hasab Nafsu Kabeer
And he who considered himself great
يمكن يطيح في لحظةٍ ويصير أسير
Yumkin Yateeh Fi Lahthatun Wa Yaseer Aseer
Might fall in an instant and become a captive
[جسر موسيقي – ناي منفرد ثم كورال منخفض] · Musical bridge - solo flute then low chorus
لا تسأل التاريخ عنهم
La Tas'al Al-Tareekh 'Anhum
Don't ask history about them
ما كل ما يُكتب صحيح
Ma Kull Ma Yuktab Saheeh
Not all that is written is true
بعض الحكايات انتهت
Ba'd Al-Hikayat Intahat
Some stories have ended
لكن صداها ما يزيح
Lakin Sadaha Ma Yazeeh
But their echo does not fade
واللي غرس شوك الطريق
Wallee Gharas Shawk Al-Tareeq
And he who planted thorns on the path
ما يضمن إن الورد يزهر
Ma Yadman Inna Al-Ward Yuzhir
Does not guarantee that roses will bloom
واللي بنى عرشه على خوف
Wallee Bana 'Arshahu 'Ala Khawf
And he who built his throne on fear
يعيش طول العمر يحذر
Ya'eesh Tool Al-'Umr Yahdhar
Lives his whole life in caution

Lines explained
“واللي حسب نفسه ملك”
Wallee Hasab Nafsu Malik

“وين الحقيقة تختفي؟”
Wayn Al-Haqeeqah Takhtafi?
Where does the truth disappear?
This rhetorical question emphasizes the difficulty of discerning truth and morality in a world where appearances are often deceptive.
“ما كل أبيض كان طاهر”
Ma Kull Abyad Kana Tahir
Not all white was pure
