I complain to God of the ignorance of a people

أشكو إلى الله جهل قوم

1. I complain to God of the ignorance of a people
Who are displeased with what intellects find good.

١. أَشكو إِلى اللَهِ جَهلَ قَومٍ
قَد سَخِطَت ما اِرتَضى العُقولُ

2. They said to us, “Say what we want!
Who are you to speak?”

٢. قالوا لَنا قَولُ ما أَرَدنا
وَما لَكُم فيهِ أَن تَقولوا

3. And who is more truthful than us
When evidence points our way,

٣. وَمَن بِحَقَقٍّ أَحَقُّ مِنّا
وَمُدَّانا لَنا الدَليلُ

4. And there is reward in our error,
Since God will judge us for what we do?

٤. وَفي خُطانا لَنا ثَوابٌ
وَاللَهُ فينا بِنا الفَعولُ
