1. They claimed that they aligned for their king
You lied, they did not align but maligned
١. زَعَموا بِأَنَّهُمُ صَفَوا لِمَليكِهِم
كَذَبوكَ ما صافَوا وَلَكِن صافوا
2. The tree of conflict planted in their hearts, oh woe to it
My aim is against truth not to align
٢. شَجَرُ الخِلافِ قُلوبُهُم وَيحٌ لَها
غَرَضي خِلافُ الحَقِّ لا الصَفصافُ
3. So blessed is Allah who is able
To fail and fall short of His attributes
٣. فَتَبارَكَ اللَهُ الَّذي هُوَ قادِرٌ
تَعيا وَتَقصُرُ دونَهُ الأَوصافُ
4. Oppression is what the youth mostly live by
And fairness least in their eyes
٤. الظُلمُ أَكثَرُ ما يَعيشُ بِهِ الفَتى
وَأَقَلُّ شَيءٍ عِندَهُ الإِنصافُ
5. Rights were denied in the share as if they were
A faulty poem whose rhymes mismatch
٥. مُنِعَت مِنَ القِسمِ الحُقوقُ كَأَنَّها
رَجَزٌ تَهافَتَ مالَهُ أَنصافُ
6. So said Ash-Shafi’i, Malik
And Abu Hanifah before and Al-Khassaf
٦. وَعُنوا فَقالَ الشافِعيُّ وَمالِكٌ
وَأَبو حَنيفَةَ قَبلُ وَالخَصّافُ
