1. Why, why the wrongdoing, O envious one?
While you have the purest wishes that turn evil.

2. You have betrayed the covenant of faith perfidiously,
My affection for you, though envied, does not avail.

3. You have slipped out from the church sneakily
Why then do you deviate from its proof?

4. Did you not promise it firm loyalty?
Where then is the loyalty and promise from you?

5. Did you not adamantly close the door of betrayal?
Where then is the effort and determination from you?

6. The fall of a man can be forgiven but for dishonor,
As can his rise be forgiven before.

7. You have sipped the best rainwater from it,
Yet your water after became murky and foul.

8. I do not see Jews in it, though maligned,
Are there really Jews in it?

9. Why do you slight it when you are from it,
The place of a son who has a blessed fortune?

10. Do you deliberately cast the arrows of blame at it?
Going away while being a strong killer?

11. Yet the desires of the unjust are soon foiled,
With an avenger against him, formidable and determined.

12. You have disgraced a part of it, yet it is a whole,
And to blame the whole for a part is excessive.

13. O you who travels east and west randomly,
Your randomness is an aimless act.

14. You are like a branch in the wind,
Swaying wherever the winds blow.

15. You blame the east among westerners
And malign the fringes of the west, yet the meaning is remote.

16. You want and don't want, and what good
Do you want when you are among those who do not want?

17. When perspectives are doubtful,
No sound opinion appears to him.

18. O Abu Baraqish, you have exceeded
With increased and exaggerated deception.

19. You came colored in every art
Yet not refined for what you bring about.

20. And you walk like a crab, coming and going
With advance and retreat that helps you.

21. Once orienting to the east, settling down,
Another time to the west, benefiting.

22. And you take the trust between this one and that
While you, unlike them, are expelled.

23. You have pilfered from the church some people
Who are pure and upright in it.

24. They are the edifice in it, while you are rubbish,
Far apart are foxes and lions.

25. When an intruder has no origin to protect him
A rough unleashed wind blows him away.

26. When the slave-trader sees him a slave
He says I am charred, even if he were a master.

27. We have seen before you an exemplary people
Who in the matter of meaning are witnesses.

28. You have maligned the Romans and the Orange savagely
And claim it is a good deed.

29. The utmost of my death wish is to see you
Holding an opinion in which you believe.

30. Justice has disavowed its sons
As the new testament has disavowed.

31. And truth has been blocked from all sides
As delegations have turned away from its paths.

32. And wrongdoing has turned the face of truth backwards
With no objections to it before you.

33. The clauses of tyranny have fluttered victoriously
With its clauses made to flutter from it.

34. This then is your fire, and in it is extinction,
So how will it be when there is no extinction?

35. You have left the boundaries of honorable forefathers,
Who have reached the pinnacle of nobility.

36. When the causes of arrogance grew, it pained
A heart that had been covered in silence.

37. So do not be arrogant, for your father is but dust,
And do not take pride, for the origin of dried wood is worms.

38. It is worthless earth that does not grow plants,
And rain that does not water it, however much.

39. And a mind that does not see reason is ignorance,
And a thought without guidance is ineffective.

40. You have made sharp, O you, a tongue
Whose echo is blame, if the iron rusts.

41. You have pilfered God's hoped-for church
In which is a blessed heavenly King.

42. With your claim that it deceived and was deceived
As Calvin the obstinate has said.

43. I will be amazed if people of merit and faith
Do not see it, whose forefathers had covenants.

44. So I am embarrassed by it among the wilds
As if I were Peter and it were denial.

45. Does an empty caller convey to me in the evening
To whom I had a pact?

46. To recite to him, with the walking companions, a poem
That has in every rhyme a composition,

47. That has in every meter every meaning
As if, when I recite it to him, it is Labid's.

48. Do you deny the right of a pure and chaste saint
Who has the feast of first fruits?

49. Who has a line in the register of the righteous,
For whom our rabbis are forever witnesses?

50. For you is the patriarch Satan the misguided,
And for me Saint John the right-minded.

51. Do you follow an originator who misguided you deceitfully
And leave a church in which is a pillar?

52. So do not wish safety upon the abode of evil
In which are grunting angels from it.

53. May God guide you, O one who has strayed willingly
With an invented opinion in which is stagnation.

54. Are not the inventors stubbornly disobedient?
Each of them is a rebel and obstinate.

55. Obey the view of the caliphate regarding its sons,
And do not let the new perspective take you away.

56. If it says lies, then believe it,
For what it has said is the conclusive words.

57. Everyone whose resolve is deficient,
And everyone whose fire has died down,

58. And everyone whose view contains corruption,
And everyone whose mind has become desolate,

59. O you who casts doubts, no greetings of peace
Or compassion when the anklets are shaking.

60. On a day you will not see an escape,
And a time that will have no deviation.

61. So excuse me, my brother, and do not blame me,
For the wound of truth, its pain is severe.

62. For I thought the crown was above my head,
But it was a delusion and does not avail.

63. I thought our shepherd was faithful,
But the faithful one has covenants.

64. And I thought you a loving leader,
But no - by your father - the loving are of no use.

65. If the imam has no merit or faith,
My prayer niche is rejection.

66. Leave me be from judging the enemies,
For them is a Lord who will judge them soon.

67. It is enough for man on judgement day what he has done,
Be it good, faithful and firm.
