1. I am amazed by people who launched the arrow of their deceit,
Yet all the lessons of those who passed did not benefit them.

2. Every morrow, they fawn on those among them with their afflictions,
To extinguish a light or ignite strife.

3. Saalih strove - may Allah not make his effort successful -
To deny a right from the Book and Sunnah.

4. So before long, death will meet him beyond which
He will be in humiliation and disgrace.

5. Upon you is what you deserve from the Most Merciful,
And you have gotten increased punishment and wretchedness.

6. You follow inspiration from the devils of a faction
Led astray by Iblis in every place.

7. And they were certain that the God provides for them,
And they knew that was only for a reason.

8. Yet they did not value the Lord of the wilderness as is His right,
Nor recognized the merit of the Prophet for a moment.

9. Whoever lives distracted from remembering Allah,
Satan will be his companion to slip him into mischief.

10. The noble Sunnah is only by His revelation,
And righteousness cannot be attained except with determination.

11. Their ignorance and hypocrisy is enough from them,
And surely all darkness dissipates in the light.

12. How many corrupted people have immersed in the sea of misguidance,
And how every wicked nature roamed astray!

13. They have ignited for evil a fire whose flames
Will burn them in disbelief at every kindling.

14. They have not tread a single step in the path of truth,
Nor were sincere to Allah one day with intention.

15. They let out cries of rebellion which corrupted souls followed,
Spreading every nonsense and falsehood.

16. Whoever Allah guides will succeed by His grace,
And whoever Satan humiliates will return in sorrow.

17. Do you deny the guidance of the Prophet and his narration,
And rave with a claim that severs affection?

18. For who made clear the verses by revelation of his Lord,
And who arose removing all doubt and suspicion?

19. Are you not ordered to obey his command
From Allah? So beware all deviation and returning.

20. Say to the Messenger of Allah, "Hearing and obedience,"
And leave this deviation to gain mercy.

21. Indeed, in the past there used to be insight
For whoever sought war against the truth from every faith.

22. The way of the Most Merciful passed judgement on them and they perished
While argument after argument had existed among them.

23. If you deny the guidance of the Prophet, then verily
It is denial of the Qur'an from every perspective.

24. We called you to the truth and the truth is clear,
And there is no darkness beyond the light.
