1. They said: "We testify that you are the foremost
Who pledged with truth, judges and bears witness.

2. We are helpless, and have no defence against that
With which you came, and the word of truth is a firm duty.

3. And Ali came with falsehood, which
Disgraced him until denial has stripped him bare.

4. He who claims what he has no right to
Is, at the time of trial, found wanting."
