إِنَّ يَومي مِنَ الزُبَيرِ وَمِن طَل

إِنَّ يَومي مِنَ الزُبَيرِ وَمِن طَل

حَةَ فيما يَسوءُني لَطَويلُ

حَةَ فيما يَسوءُني لَطَويلُ

Indeed, my day at the hands of al-Zubayr and Tal-

My days with Zubair and Talha are long

Verily, my day with Al-Zubayr and Talhah,

ha is truly long in the grief it brings me.

When they do me wrong and treat me unfair

In that which brings me sorrow, is long indeed.

ظَلَماني وَلَم يَكُن عَلِمَ اللَ

ظَلَماني وَلَم يَكُن عَلِمَ اللَ

هُ إِلى الظُلمِ لي لِخُلقٍ سَبيلُ

هُ إِلى الظُلمِ لي لِخُلقٍ سَبيلُ

They both wronged me; yet—God knows—

They wronged me, though Allah did not allow

They wronged me, though there was not—as Allah knows—

no creature had a path to wronging me.

Their nature to follow the path of injustice

Any path towards injustice within my nature.
