1. They said al-Ma'arri is an unbeliever
I said al-Ma'arri is a believer

2. But an chronic illness has taken hold among you
By my life, it is chronic

3. You would not believe except to
Follow your religion, if you were to believe

4. O' clear-sighted ones, yet in their insights
Blindness lies hidden

5. Arise and go, and let there remain of
You neither a drinker nor an addict
