1. Do I see, does my question have
A convincing respondent to quench my thirst

2. And the night, does not make my mind absent
Is it not followed by the beautiful dawn

3. What is it with my eyes that do not see the wondrous secret
In the soul's disappearance with the burdensome body

4. What is it with my hearing that does not comprehend the guard's voice
About this universe, or is this impossible

5. I do not know and who can give me certainty
What is my existence between creation and death

6. What is the mind's presence in the night of speculations
And it is my sultan to solve problems

7. Why has my soul accustomed itself to reside in prisons
And it is a light, how can it desire darkness

8. Who am I? I am the imam of the ignorant
And the epitome of knowledge to me is nonsense

9. I love injustice, I do not know why
I do not like justice in what I judge

10. I do not speak the truth except by force
And swearing to deceive people is my effort

11. With my hypocrisy I have woven a sturdy gown
My appearance being one thing and my inner self obscured

12. Who am I? I am an example illustrated
For the children of Adam, an example that can be understood

13. I am despicable and corrupt in private
And in front of people I advocate for righteousness

14. I am wary of the creation but as for the Creator
I see disobeying Him as the secret of success

15. I have not obeyed God except securely
Of a hell whose flames have no comfort

16. Who am I? I am a speaking example
To you, O human, and truly candid

17. I resentfully see others prevail
Or I see in people a conspicuous person

18. And I wish there were none happy in this world
Other than me, for I am most deserving of it

19. I wish people to be my slaves
Like a flock of sheep grazing

20. Who am I? I am a reasonable human
The self has stood at its shrine

21. I am a human, so where is my conscience
Where is my sentiment and where is my compassion

22. I falsely and unjustly claim them for the people
And they have retreated from me in fear

23. I am a monster, I am an obstinate devil
I am the one who kindled the swift wars

24. And I am the human with abundant knowledge
And invented the bomber airplanes

25. Who am I? What has the world benefited
From my existence, if only I was never born

26. And I am you, both of us are unjust
Not loving the truth, astray and tyrannical

27. The earth roared and my Lord is knowledgeable
That it became too narrow to contain the corrupted human

28. Flooding over it sailing
To remove the filth for the time has been prolonged
