Sol 6.1

  1. يا من يلي أمر القضا

    ءِ وذاك من سوءِ القضاءِ

    O you who oversee the affairs of justice,

    And that is an ill turn of fate!

  2. ويل لقاضي الأرض يو

    م الدين من قاضي السماءِ

    Woe to the judge of earth on the Day

    of Judgment, from the Judge of heaven!

  3. كم من يتيم قد حشر

    ت غناه في ذاك الوعاءِ

    How many an orphan—you have crammed

    his wealth into that vessel!

  4. ولرب ثكلى قد ترك

    ت بعينها أثر البكاءِ

    And many a bereaved mother—you have left

    the trace of weeping in her eye.

  5. فسمنت من هَزل اليتيم

    نعم ومن غزل الإماءِ

    So you have grown fat from the orphan's wasting,

    Yes, and from the slave women's spinning.
