A book of the oppressed to the oppressor

كتاب مظلوم إلى ظالم

Come if you wish to the judge

From you, nor is your link with the Eternal

مِنكَ وَلا وَصلُكَ بِالدائِمِ

Awake but not asleep

لَستُ بِيَقظانَ وَلا نائِمِ

O beloved, had you been fair, you would not have sinned

٥. جاوَزتَ في الجَورِ المَدى كُلَّهُ
يا حِبُّ لَو أَنصَفتَ لَم تَاثَمِ
