The swords of Madhhij and Hamdan refused
Not to restore Naʿthal as he had been—

خَلْقاً جَديداً بَعدَ خَلقِ الرَّحمَنْ

وَقَد قَضَى بِالحُكْمِ حَكْمِ الشَّيطانْ
A new creation after the All-Merciful’s creation.
And he had judged according to Satan’s judgment,
وَفارَقَand he forsook الحَقَّthe truth وَنورَand the light of الإيمانْfaith
وَفارَقَ الحَقَّ وَنورَ الإيمانْ
فَذاقَso he tasted كَأْسَthe cup of المَوتِdeath شُرْبَthe drinking of الظَمْآنْthe thirsty one
فَذاقَ كَأْسَ المَوتِ شُرْبَ الظَمْآنْ
And forsaken the truth and the light of faith.
So he tasted the cup of death as a thirsty man drinks.
