1. Have the noble ones faded, they were
A light for all so the universe darkens
١. أَفَلَ الأُلَى كَانُوا نُجُو
ماً لِلْوَرَى فَالْكَوْنُ مُظْلِمْ
2. And people denied the true discourse
So I miss the teacher
٢. وَتَنَاكَرَ النَّاسُ الْحَديِثَ ال
حَقّ وَفْتُقِدَ الْمُعَلِّمْ
3. I'm the sultan's scribe, I've never
Read a Muslim's book
٣. أَنَا كَاتِبُ السُّلْطَانِ مَا
طَالَعْتُ قَطُّ كِتَابَ مُسْلِمْ
4. Except foolishness, blasphemous
About religion, and God is the subjugator
٤. إِلاَّ سُخَاماً قَادِحاً
فِي الدِّينِ وَاللَّهُ الْمُسَلِّمُ
