1. If you were people of purity, a fitting address
Would have been purity, but speech distorts meanings.

2. An army of Iblis in the land of Bedlis now and then
Milking life in Aleppo.

3. You sought provision in horizons out of greed
Yet God is found wherever truly sought.

4. I do not mean by this except your debauched ones,
For the devout, if opposed, will overcome.

5. Like the sun - no blemish approaches its rays
The full moon is far above blame even when eclipsed.

6. I see no people gone astray but their sanity
Is like Christians, building up crucifixes.

7. O Children of Israel! Can your Messiah be hoped for!
Far from it! He who formed things distinguished them.

8. We said he came but was not crucified, yet you say
One came after and a nation cried "Crucify!"

9. You brought the Torah's falsehood through distortion
And much evil is attracted by the youth.

10. How many are killed though their hands never spilled blood
Save seizing plunder and rapine.

11. Religion's pillar is upheld by later generations
Building palaces while others dig graves.
