Tell the poor that goodness has left them

نب المساكين أن الخير فارقهم

1. Tell the poor that goodness has left them,
Along with the Messenger it has turned away from them at dawn.

And the provisions for my family when they are not cheered by rain?

When a companion goes too far in his words or stumbles.

And hid him away and heaped soil over him,

Neither female nor male thereafter.

And it was an ordained affair of God that was destined.

They scattered it publicly among themselves negligently.
