1. آلَيتُ أَرغَبُ في قَميصِ مُمَوِّهٍ

    فَأَكونَ شارِبَ حَنظَلٍ مِن حَنضَلِ

    I swore not to covet a deceiver's shirt,

    lest I drink colocynth from Ḥanḍal.

  2. نَجى المَعاشِرَ مِن بَراثِنَ صالِحٍ

    رَبٌّ يُفَرِّجُ كُلَّ أَمرٍ مُعضِلِ

    The people were saved from Ṣāliḥ's claws

    by a Lord who eases every difficult matter.

  3. ما كانَ لي فيها جَناحُ بَعوضَةٍ

    وَاللَهُ أَلبَسَهُم جَناحَ تَفَضُّلِ

    I had not even a mosquito's wing in it,

    and God clothed them in a wing of grace.
