1. حُبُّ اليهودِ لآل موسى ظاهِرٌ

    وولاؤُهم لبني أخيه بادي

    The Jews’ love for Moses’ family is plain,

    And their allegiance to his brother’s sons is manifest.

  2. وإمامهم من نسلِ هارونَ الأُلَى

    بهِم اهتدَوا ولكلِّ قومٍ هادي

    And their leader comes from Aaron’s descendants,

    Through whom they found guidance—and every people has a guide.

  3. وأرى النصارى يُكرِمونَ محبَّةً

    لنبيِّهم نَخِراً من الأعوادِ

    And I see the Christians honoring, out of love

    For their prophet, a rotten piece of wood.

  4. وتمسكوا بولاءِ شمعونَ الصَّفَا

    فصفتْ قلوبُهم مِنَ الأحقادِ

    And they held fast to allegiance to Simon the Rock,

    So their hearts were cleansed of hatreds.

  5. وإِذا تولَّى آلَ أحمدَ مسلمٌ

    قتلوهُ أو وسموهُ بالإلحَادِ

    And when a Muslim shows loyalty to Ahmad’s family,

    They kill him or brand him a heretic.

  6. هذا هو الدَّاءُ العياءُ بمثلِهِ

    ضلَّتْ حلومُ حواضرٍ وبوادي

    This is the incurable disease; through its like

    The minds of townsfolk and desert-dwellers have gone astray.

  7. لم يحفَظوا حَقَّ النبيِّ محمَّدٍ

    في آلِه واللّهُ بالمرصادِ

    They did not honor the Prophet Muhammad’s right

    Regarding his family; and God lies in wait.
