1. When I saw people going astray in religion,
I followed the path of Allah with those who followed the path.

2. I proclaimed the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest,
And I was certain that Allah forgives and pardons,

3. And affirms whatever He wills by His command,
And erases and decides in matters and determines.

4. I adhered to a religion other than what I used to adhere to,
And the master of people, Ja'far, prohibited me.

5. So I said: "Forgive me, for I became Jewish for a while,
Otherwise my religion is the religion of one who becomes Christian."

6. And indeed I repent to the Most Merciful for that,
And indeed I have submitted, and Allah is the Greatest.

7. So I am not going back as long as I live, and I am returning
To what I used to conceal and harbor.

8. No living being is pleased with Muhammad's approval
Even if an ignorant person criticizes my sayings and increases them

9. But it is from what has passed, for its path,
In the best of states to be followed and informed.

10. With the good, the pure, the foremost for them
From the Chosen One a pure, excellent branch.
