Remember the example of the hunchback when he ran

تذكروا مثل الخطاب حين جرى

1. Remember the example of the hunchback when he ran
That hunchback, perhaps this story will benefit from the tale

١. تَذَكَّروا مَثَلَ الخَطّابِ حينَ جَرى
ذاكَ الخَطّابُ عَساها تَنفَعُ الذِكرُ

2. When he climbed a platform calling his people
If you see any crookedness in me, do not hesitate

٢. إِذ اِرتَقى مِنبَراً يَدعو رَعِيَّتَهُ
إِذا تَرَونَ اِعوِجاجاً بي فَلا تَذروا

3. It was said, by God if we see any crookedness
We would straighten it with swords, Omar

٣. فَقيلَ وَاللَهِ لَو أَنّا نَرى عِوَجاً
إِذاً أَقَمناهُ بِالأَسيافِ يا عَمرُ

4. He said, how far does the nurturing of my Lord extend
While in your hands remain the white and the brown

٤. فَقالَ أَمَدُ رُبى إِذ عَلى يَدِكُم
باتَت تَقومُ مِنّي البيضُ وَالسُمرُ
