1. إِنَّ الَّذينَ اِستَحَلّوا كُلَّ فاحِشَةٍ

    مِنَ المَحارِمِ بَعدَ النَقضِ لِلذِمَمِ

    Indeed, those who deemed every abomination lawful

    Among forbidden deeds, after breaking the covenants,

  2. قَومٍ أَتَوا مِن سَجِستانٍ عَلى عَجَلٍ

    مُنافِقونَ بِلا حِلٍّ وَلا حَرَمِ

    A people who came from Sijistan in haste,

    Are hypocrites, respecting neither the lawful nor the sacred.

  3. ما كانَ فيهِم وَقَد هُمَّت أُمورُهُمُ

    مَن يُستَجارُ عَلى الإِسلامِ وَالحُرَمِ

    Among them, with their plans already laid, there was no one

    Whose protection could be sought for Islam and its sanctities.

  4. يَستَفتِحونَ بِمَن لَم تَسمُ سورَتُهُ

    بَينَ الطَوالِعِ بِالأَيدي إِلى الكَرَمِ

    They seek victory through one whose stature never rose

    Among those reaching upward with their hands toward nobility.
