1. Troubles crept insidiously to my abode like arrows,
Piercing me to the bone and penetrating to the marrow.

2. Regretting the lapses of my former days,
When I wallowed in the mire of sin and crime.

3. Bewildered in the darkest night, losing my way,
Importing the canons of injustice and wrong.

4. Blinded by the clan of Jumah,
As the tribe of Suhaym closed ranks around me.

5. But now, after that hardness of heart,
My bone believes, and after it my flesh believes,

6. In Muhammad and the truth he brought,
The exemplar of reason and wise decree.
