1. My story has come before an honorable judge
Complaining of injustice when I was wronged

2. A document in the king's hand he folded
For the king to see it, ever magnificent

3. I am your poor petitioner who has been
Distinguished with celebration and prayer always

4. After the fasting month I visited people
Hungry, seeking their hospitality

5. And I have for the Feast a gown and crescent
I have around my neck an ornament towering

6. Ramadan transgressed against me and became
Angry, fearing no blame

7. I fear the slaughter with a crescent blade
Then skinning me and leaving me in place

8. Do not deny my right with a false witness
He is blind in insight or pretending not to see

9. Strike the forehead of the witness, it's a brand
Of a liar, from his lies he did not refrain

10. If the sun is eclipsed, it is injustice
And so is time, it has not ceased to be unjust
