1. وَجَدَ الحاسِدونَ فينا مَقالا

    فَوَّقوا أَسهُماً لَنا وَنِبالا

    The envious found something to say against us;

    They nocked arrows and shafts against us.

  2. عَجِبوا أَنَّ قانِصاً بَثَّ في الآ

    فاقِ أَشراكَهُ فَصادَ غَزالا

    They marveled that a hunter had spread across the

    horizons his snares, and caught a gazelle,

  3. مِلءُ عَيني مَلاحَةً وَجَمالاً

    وَفُؤادي مَهابَةً وَجَلالا

    Filling my eye with loveliness and beauty,

    And my heart with awe and majesty.

  4. فَاِعذِلوا فيهِ كَيفَ شِئتُم وَقولوا

    قَد كَفى اللَهُ المُؤمِنينَ القِتالا

    So reproach me over him as you please, and say:

    God has indeed spared the believers fighting.
