I'm amazed, though times reveal all wonders,

إني عجبت وفي الأيام معتبر

1. I'm amazed, though times reveal all wonders,
As fate brings varied hues of miracles.

١. إِنّي عَجِبتُ وَفي الأَيّامِ مُعتَبَرٌ
وَالدَهرُ يَأتي بِأَلوانِ الأَعاجيبِ

2. A friend who was my worldly life and faith
Blatantly turned into a ravenous wolf.

٢. مِن صاحِبٍ كانَ دُنيائي وَآخِرَتي
عَدا عَلَيَّ جِهاراً عَدوَةَ الذيبِ

3. With no misdeeds by which I was accused,
He showed his vileness, wronging me unjustly.

٣. مِن غَيرِ ذَنبٍ وَلا شَيءٍ قُرِفتُ بِهِ
أَبدى خَبيثَتَهُ ظُلماً وَأُغرِيَ بي

4. My only one among all humankind,
Why wish my blame and do me evil?

٤. يا واحِدي مِن جَميعِ الناسِ كُلِّهِمُ
ماذا أَرَدتَ إِلى سَبّي وَتَأنيبي

5. An example I could have, had I understood,
A saying by a speaker whose words ring true:

٥. قَد كانَ لي مَثَلٌ لَو كُنتُ أَعقِلُهُ
مِن قَولِ غالِبِ لَفظٍ غَيرِ مَغلوبِ

6. "Do not praise a man until you've tested him,
Nor blame him without first making him prove."

٦. لا تَحمِدَنَّ اِمرَأً حَتّى تُجَرِّبَهُ
وَلا تَذُمَّنَّهُ مِن غَيرِ تَجريبِ
