We, the inhabitants of this land, are accustomed to educating traitors and being indifferent to their betrayals and bullying.

Don't worry, we'll get used to it!
We are used to getting used to. We have learned to get used to it. We have learned to get used to the worst of the bad and to ignore the bad deeds and behaviors that determine our destiny.
I think it's a country of habits. We have long been accustomed to every misfortune that happened to us.
We put up with any arbitrariness and tyranny. We are accustomed to governments imposed by the Americans, we are accustomed to fake meetings.
We are accustomed to corruption, betrayal, cruelty, lack of rights, and domestic restrictions. We are accustomed to the actions, behavior, and speech of fanatics and schismatics along national, linguistic, and group lines. We are accustomed to the false and endless promises of the current rulers, who consider themselves the pillars of religion. We are accustomed to poverty, unemployment, misery, tragedy, deprivation, and torture for no reason.
We are accustomed to being silent and regretting when hundreds of our compatriots die.
We are accustomed to praying for a paradise for the martyrs and speedy healing of the wounded.
We are used to the fact that our destiny is determined by others. We are used to not trusting and not trusting each other.
We are accustomed to putting personal interests above national ones.
We are accustomed to obeying the new orders of amr-bilma'ruf and live under the rule of oppression.
We are accustomed to the fact that every year there are more and more unemployed and drug addicts.
We are accustomed to laughing at trouble, at nauseating jokes and offending others. We are used to optimism. We are accustomed to the deterioration of the political situation, the security situation, and the economy.
We are having strange times. Even when we laugh, we mean something else. When things go well or something happens, we get scared. We are accustomed to limping somewhere.
We are accustomed to putting a seal of approval on the words of this or that, even if it is to our detriment.
We are used to insulting and humiliating each other, even threatening to kill each other because of our material and personal interests.
We are accustomed to inciting ethnic and linguistic strife and destroying each other every day more than yesterday.
We are used to robbing orphans, the poor, and the needy.
Finally, we are used to living with all the chaos of the city and hundreds of oppression and tyranny here and there.
Rulers of the Islamic Emirate!
Give us any promise you like and want, and commit any injustice you allow. We are accustomed to accepting.
Oppress as you can, issue orders, do not let women and girls go to school, knit whatever you want, we will get used to everything. Even our differences are fleeting. We even guarantee that we will accept your betrayal. We promise that you can rule us for as long as you want. No matter how much we burn, we will still build.
We, the inhabitants of this land, are accustomed to educating traitors and being indifferent to their betrayals and bullying.
This is our habit of death, don't worry, Emirate authorities. We don't want anything from you.
