Be silent, leave their misguided ways and affairs

أسكت وخل مضلهم وشؤونه

1. Be silent, leave their misguided ways and affairs
So He may lead them with His staff or His sword

١. أُسكُت وَخَلِّ مُضِلَّهُم وَشُؤونَهُ
لِيَسوقَهُم بِعَصاهُ أَو بِحُسامِهِ

2. They were advised but did not accept and sold a lot
Of the evil of their mine for the price of poison

٢. نُصِحوا فَما قَبِلوا وَباعوا كِثكِثاً
مِن شَرِّ مَعدِنِهِ بِقيمَةِ سامِهِ

3. So they are like sheep led by one who does not care
How it fares with their lead ropes

٣. فَكَأَنَّهُم غَنَمٌ تَرودُ أُسامَها
مَن لا يُبالي كَيفَ حالُ مَسامِهِ

4. Happiness is buried, no sign to a wise one
That death might be in its divisions

٤. دُفِنَ السُرورُ فَما يَبينُ لِعاقِلٍ
رُزءٌ يَكونُ المَوتُ في أَقسامِهِ

5. A man lied attributing vileness to
He who created mankind and outlined in His design

٥. كَذَبَ اِمرُؤٌ نَسَبَ القَبيحَ إِلى
الَّذي خَلَقَ الأَنامَ وَخَطَّ في بِرسامِهِ
