قُلْ لِلَّذي غَرَّتْه عِزَّةُ مُلْكِهِ

قُلْ لِلَّذي غَرَّتْه عِزَّةُ مُلْكِهِ

حتى أخلَّ بطاعةِ النُّصَحاءِ

حتى أخلَّ بطاعةِ النُّصَحاءِ

Tell the one whom the might of his kingship has deluded,

Tell him whom the pride of his kingdom has deceived,

To the point that he failed to heed sincere advisers:

So that he has parted from the advice of the well-wishers,

شرفُ المُلوكِ بعلمهم وبرأيِهمْ

شرفُ المُلوكِ بعلمهم وبرأيِهمْ

وكذاكَ أوجَ الشَّمسِ في الجَوْزاءِ

وكذاكَ أوجَ الشَّمسِ في الجَوْزاءِ

Kings’ honor lies in their knowledge and judgment,

The honor of kings is in their knowledge and their judgment,

And likewise, the sun’s apogee lies in Gemini.

Just as the full moon is at its height in the mansion of Gemini.
