1. Tell Abraham a bitter word,
You have defeated me with heresy and blasphemy,
١. قولا لِإِبراهيمَ قَولاً هِترا
غَلَبتَني زَندَقَةً وَكُفرا
2. If I say you do not leave virtue, he says righteousness,
If I say you do not fear, he says the sea,
٢. إِن قُلتَ ما تَترُكُ قالَ بِرّا
أَو قُلتَ ما تَرهَبُ قالَ بَحرا
3. If I say what do you say, he says evil,
May my Lord make it flames and embers for him.
٣. أَو قُلتَ ما تَقولُ قالَ شَرّا
أَصلاهُ رَبّي لَهَباً وَجَمرا
