1. يا من تكلم فينا بالذي فيه

    وقعت في كف ضرغام وفي فيه

    O you who said of us what lies within yourself,

    You have fallen into a lion's paw and into its mouth.

  2. ودِّع حياتَك إن السم فيك سرى

    من لحمنا عنك لا تسطيع تنفيه

    Bid your life farewell: the poison has coursed through you

    From our flesh; you cannot drive it out of yourself.

  3. واختر لنفسك ديناً مُت عليه سوى

    دين النبي الذي أنكرتنا فيه

    And choose for yourself a faith to die in, other than

    The Prophet's faith, in which you denounced us.

  4. فقد جحدت الغيور الحق ملته

    هيهات أنك تنجو من أياديه

    For you have disavowed the faith of the Jealous One, the Truth;

    Never shall you escape His hands!

  5. وإن جهلت فما بالكفر يعذر ذو

    جهل لدى الشرع والشيطان يطغيه

    And if you were ignorant, no excuse for unbelief is granted to the

    Ignorant under the Sacred Law; Satan drives him to transgress.

  6. دم في ظنونك مفتوناً فسوف ترى

    من الذي منه قبح الفعل يدريه

    Persist, deluded, in your suspicions; soon you will see

    Who it is that knows the ugliness of the deed that comes from him.

  7. ولا تقل أي جاه للضعيف يرى

    فإن للبيت ربّاً سوف يحميه

    And do not say, 'What standing is seen for the weak?'

    For the house has a Lord who will protect it.

  8. يا مستبيحين أعراضاً محرمةً

    بسوء ظن وتلبيس وتمويه

    O you who treat inviolable honor as fair game,

    Through thinking ill of others, misrepresentation, and deceit,

  9. أهكذا ملة الإسلام تأمركم

    أم قد سلكتم عن الإسلام في تيه

    Does the faith of Islam command you to act like this,

    Or have you strayed from Islam into a trackless wilderness?

  10. تبا لكم ولمن قد عاد يتبعكم

    والعبد مولاه في الأعداء يكفيه

    Ruin upon you and upon whoever has returned to follow you!

    And the servant's Master suffices him against his enemies.
