1. I seek refuge in Allah from the people
Who when they hear good, they conceal it

2. Or when they hear evil, they spread it
What was destiny did not push it away out of mercy

3. And he who has power does as he pleases in this world
Indeed, the King of Abyssinia attained kingship undeserved

4. Despite a people who because of some commerce had sold him
And Khalid ibn Sinaan, the universe does not diminish him

5. From his worth while he is alive, though they have wasted him
I have not seen advocates of falsehood speaking

6. While truth is silent, fearing to be called
Let not people of nobility rejoice over a newborn

7. For the glad tidings of a child are dependent on his upbringing
Thus is the way of time, it enriches those who accompany it

8. And it promises nothing but loss for those who call it
And Allah is the truth, even if your assumptions run wild
