لا أسأل الله في جُهمانَ مسألةً

على الذي بيَ من مَقْتٍ له وقِلى
I ask God for nothing concerning Juhmān,
I do not ask God in distress any request
despite the loathing and hatred I bear him,
For the one who is full of hatred and animosity towards me

إلّا إعارَته عقلاً يُريه به
منof بُغضهhis loathsomeness ماwhat يراهsees it غيرُهُsomeone other than him وكفىand that suffices
من بُغضه ما يراه غيرُهُ وكفى
except that He lend him a mind with which He might show him
Except to lend him a mind to show him
what others see of his loathsomeness—and that would suffice.
The hatred he sees that others do not see, and enough

For, by the one who never shows me his face
By Him who will never show me His face
except with harm, I have no desire but that.
Except with good news, so I have no other love but that

لو أبصرتْ عينه من بُغضهِ طَرَفاً

لذاب حتى تراه كالخيالِ ضَنى
If his eye saw even a fraction of his loathsomeness,
If his eyes saw a glimpse of his hatred
he would melt away until you saw him wasted, like a phantom.
It would melt until he sees it as a vanishing mirage
