1. فَدَيتُ مَن لا أُفَدّي غَيرَهُ أَبَدا

    وَمَن أَرى الغَيَّ فيما سَرَّهُ رَشَدا

    I would give my life for him, and never for anyone else,

    And for him whose pleasure makes me deem error right guidance,

  2. وَمَن يَغيبُ فَأَرعاهُ وأَحفَظَهُ

    وَلا أَرى عِندَهُ حِفظاً إِذا شَهِدا

    And for him who goes away, while I care for him and keep faith with him,

    Yet I find no faithfulness in him when he is present.

  3. أَمّا رَسولي فَمَمنوعُ اللِقاءِ بِكُم

    وَلا يَهُمُّكُمُ أَن تُرسِلوا أَحَدا

    As for my messenger, he is barred from meeting you,

    And you do not care to send anyone.
