أَيُّها الحاكم بِالظَّن

نِ وما بالظَّنِّ حُكْمُ

O you who judge by suspicion,

O judge by suspicion,

and suspicion is no basis for judgment.

Judgment by suspicion is not just.

لا تَسُمْ خِلَّكَ خَسْفاً

لا تَسُمْ خِلَّكَ خَسْفاً

فَهْوَ عن ما تَسْمُ يسمو

فَهْوَ عن ما تَسْمُ يسمو

Do not subject your close friend to humiliation,

Do not call your subjects lowly,

for he rises beyond whatever height you reach.

They will rise above what you call them.

أَوَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ حَقًّا

أَوَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ حَقًّا

قال بَعْضُ الظَّنِّ إِثْمُ

قال بَعْضُ الظَّنِّ إِثْمُ

And has God not truly

Is not God the Truth?

said, “Some suspicion is sin”?

Some suspicion is sin.
