1. O Barquq, I seek refuge in you
From he who equates the Creator to the created
١. إني أعيذ علاك يا برقوق
ممن يقول الخالق المخلوق
2. And sees no difference between
The worship of our Lord and that of a deaf rock
٢. ويرى عبادة ربنا ما بينها
وعبادة الصخر الأصم فروق
3. So if you find him, that wretched dog, barren
Then kill him, not gently, for he is a disbeliever
٣. فمتى تجده وكلب سوء عاقرا
فاقتله دون الكب فهو حقيق
4. Does he insult our Creator while we protect him?
Indeed, if so we are evil slaves
٤. أيسب خالقنا ونحن نصونه
إنّا إذا لعبيد سوء موق
5. How many favors and rights
Does God and Prophet Muhammad have over you
٥. كم للإِله وللنبي محمد
منن وكم لهما عليك حقوق
6. Shun their enemy and leave him be, for what man
Befriends his foe and takes him as a friend?

والى عدوك واصطفاه صديق
7. Accursed Satan is the enemy of our God
So beware he finds a way to you
٧. شيطان كرمان عدو إلهنا
فاحذر يكون له إليك طريق
8. He is ominous, and whoever he afflicts
He scatters and divides their unity
٨. فهو المشوم وما ألمّ بمعشر
إلا وشتت شملهم تفريق
9. Remember your God and seek refuge from his evil
No matter what comes to you, for he is a heretic
٩. اذكر إلهك واستعذ من شره
مهما أتاك فإنه زنديق
10. By God, by Great Avenging God I swear
By God, I speak truthfully
١٠. والله والله العظيم قسامة
والله يعمل أنّني لصدوق
11. I do not hate him, for I know
Hatred comes naturally to all people
١١. إني لا بغضه لعلمي أنه
بالبغض من كل الإِنام خليق
12. And by God, were it not for his disbelief and hypocrisy
I would not yearn to hate him
١٢. والله لولا كفره ونفاقه
ما كنت للبغضاء فيه أتوق
13. If he thought well of our God
And repented his tyranny and came to his senses
١٣. لو كان يحسن ظنه بإلهنا
ويعود عن طغيانه ويفيق
14. No Muslim in your knowledge would hate him
For who can bear to hate Muslims?
١٤. ما كان يبغضه بعلمك مسلم
من ذا لبغض المسلمين يطيق
