Were it not for fear of harm from the unjust

لولا مخافة ظالم من ظالم

1. Were it not for fear of harm from the unjust
All the people in this world would be against you

١. لولا مخافة ظالم من ظالم
لغدا عليك جميع هذا العالم

2. So guard your clothes from a friendly deceiver
Rather, protect your eyes from a learned jurist

٢. فاحفظ ثيابك من صديق وامق
بل كحل عينك من فقيه عالم

3. For if you scoff at what I mentioned and do not stop
To be cautious, you will be the eye of the unjust

٣. فمتى استهنت بما ذكرت ولم تقف
عند التحفّظ كنت عين الظالم

4. Verily the jurist has an interpretation for himself
That saves him from blame and the blamer's rebuke

٤. إن الفقيه له عليك تأوّل
ينجيه من عيب ولوم اللائم
