1. The light and radiance are veiled,
And our religion is but ostentation.

2. Can the serpent be generous to people,
When shyness is hidden from them?

3. O evil world, we did not know
That your prayers are by the pious.

4. No ignorant man will lie,
In you, there are no loyalists for God.

5. And O lands, walked upon
By the deprived and the wealthy.

6. When God decrees adversities,
All your people are miserable.

7. How many preachers preached to us,
And prophets stood upon the earth.

8. Yet they left while affliction remains,
And your illness of arrogance continues.

9. A ruling has befallen us from the king,
Though we were originally the foolish ones.
