1. My friend says to his friend as Khalil said
To his companion in making an idol
١. يَقولُ خَليلِيَ قَولَ الخَليل
لَآزَرِهِ في اِتِّخاذِ الصَنَمِ
2. Oh my father, you wrongfully worshipped
What cannot hear or see, blind and deaf
٢. أَيا أَبَتي ظالِماً قَد عَبَد
تَ ما لَيسَ يُغنيكَ أَعمى أَصَم
3. So too I worship apart from the Noble One
Who has no nobility in His creation
٣. كَذا أَنا أَعبُدُ دونَ الكِرا
مِ مَن لَيسَ في خُلُقَيهِ كَرَم
4. He brings from it no affliction or ill
Nor comfort or bounty when times are well
٤. فَلا هُوَ يُؤبِسُ مِنهُ بِلا
وَلا هُوَ يُؤنِسُ مِنهُ نَعَم
