1. O oppressor, stop!
You are resentful of the ruler
١. أيّها الظَّالمُ مهلاً
أنتَ بالحاكمِ غِرُّ
2. All the sweetness you have tasted
Is torture and embers
٢. كلُّ ما استعذَبْتَ منْ جَوْ
ركَ تعذيبٌ وجَمْرُ
3. No plea of the oppressed reaches
Anyone but Allah as cover
٣. ليس يلقى دعوةَ المظ
لومِ دونَ اللهِ سِتْرُ
4. So fear Allah, nothing of Him
Remains hidden from Him as secret
٤. فَخَفِ الله فما يَخْ
فى عَلَيْهِ مِنهُ سرُّ
5. He will gather the oppressor and oppressed
After death for reckoning
٥. يجمعُ الظّالمَ والمَظْ
لومَ بعد الموتِ حَشْرُ
6. Where no authority prevents
And no excuse is heard
٦. حيثُ لا يَمْنَعُ سُلْ
طانٌ ولا يُسْمَعُ عُذْرُ
7. Does not the death that comes to you
And then the grave caution you
٧. أَوَ ما يَنهاكَ عن ظُل
مِك موتٌ ثمَّ قَبْرُ
8. Some of the horrors within it
Are for you a deterrent
٨. بعضُ ما فيه من الأهْ
وَالِ فيهِ لكَ زَجْرُ
