I found the spoils of Islam looted
for those given to musical instruments and diversions.
By the owners of music and frivolity

And how can the consensus of humankind be valid,
And how can ignorant people agree
when they do not agree on God?
When they do not agree on God

تُنازِعُني إِلى الشَهواتِ نَفسي
فَلاso not أَناI مُنجَحٌgranted success أَبَداًever وَلاnor هيit (my soul)
فَلا أَنا مُنجَحٌ أَبَداً وَلا هي
My soul pulls me toward desires,
My self entices me to passions
so neither I nor it is ever granted success.
So neither I nor it will succeed forever
