1. O you downtrodden people, is it not enough
What the politicians have said about us?

2. You are blessed with a people led by a hair
If only your obeyed leader were honest

3. The three bolts of lightning shocked you, so wake up
Are you still misguided and infatuated?

4. When the prophets passed away, did you not learn
Do you want worldly life or religion?

5. Those whom you claimed were our allies
Supported the enemies openly against you

6. They fight over our inheritance, and when content
The clamor returns calmly and quietly

7. You worked your opinion amidst doubts for ages
And busied yourself with the impossible for years

8. And you started raving about covenants, yet the covenant
Of politics refused to be protected

9. The wolf is more truthful than them in covenant
And more righteous than them in oath and honesty

10. The thief gets angry if we mention him one day
With mention of their leader in the same vein

11. And I see the immoral one with all his different traits
Closer to the honor of morals than them

12. The spilled blood shed by a rabble
Who were mad with killing the innocent

13. Ruined is the civilization of destroyers who threw it
To the winds of virtues and highness so it perished

14. They made harm in both worlds its hand
And sin its face and immorality its forehead

15. They corrupted knowledge and arts, for they
Made evils into knowledge and arts

16. They assumed false assumptions about it, and I know
It will melt into blood and iron for certain
