1. Mock, deny, and anger as you will, you are excused
The lion of nobility is not nurtured by swine

2. Alas! He who raced to the heights was hindered
By the past that burdened and impeded him

3. In insulting a man I revealed his nature
Though in villainy notorious, he feels wronged

4. O nature that time has inclined to evil
God's punishment does not deter its change

5. Ghailan and his followers did not err
If your fate did not err against you

6. Is it the gentle breeze of blame that softened you
How then if gales of sin blew?

7. Look at them, God spared us their plight
Hands are rocks, consciences are rubble

8. Glory lies in ruins, its foundations
Toppled, to rebuild homes and abodes

9. Courtyards of evil, by God's grace, are lifeless
The exalted in them are base, the flies buzzing
