O you who are harsh in your words

يأيها المغلظ في قوله

Rather, O you who are unjust in your rule

١. يأَيها المغلِظُ في قولِهِ
بل أَيُّها الجائرُ في حُكْمِهِ

Evident and hidden in his blame

الظاهر والبَاطِنِ في ذَمِّه

3. You have made every sin with his action
Injustice, and every excuse with his opponent

٣. جعلتَ كلَّ الذنبِ مَعْ فعْلِهِ
جَوْراً وكُلَّ العذر مَعْ خَصْمِه

4. So you increased hatred over his hatred
Towards him, rather worries over his worries

٤. فَزدْتَهُ حِقْداً على حِقْدِه
عليهِ بل همّاً على همِّه

5. He is far from your injustice in his complaint
Rather, you are far from his injustice

عَلَيْكَ بل حاشَاكَ منْ ظُلْمِه

6. Do not be surprised by the injustice of fate
For nothing has happened except by its design

٦. لا تَعْجَبَنْ للدَّهرِ في جَوْره
فما جَرَى إِلاَّ عَلى رَسْمِه
