لَنَا صَاحِبٌ لا يَرْعَوِي لِفَضيلةٍ

لَنَا صَاحِبٌ لا يَرْعَوِي لِفَضيلةٍ

فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عَقْلٌ وَلا لِذَويهِ

أَلَستَ تَرَى مِنْ عُظْمِ ما هُوَ جَاهِلٌ

أَلَستَ تَرَى مِنْ عُظْمِ ما هُوَ جَاهِلٌ

يُحِبُّ أَبا بَكْرٍ وَيطْعَنُ فِيهِ

يُحِبُّ أَبا بَكْرٍ وَيطْعَنُ فِيهِ

Do you not see how, in his profound ignorance,

Do you not see from how great is his ignorance

He loves Abu Bakr yet maligns him
