1. لو يعرف الناس قدر العلم لاتجهوا

    لأهله يطلبون الدين وامتثلوا

    If people knew the worth of knowledge, they would turn

    To its possessors, seeking religion, and would obey.

  2. وهاهم علماء الدين علمهم

    طوع السؤال ولكن أين من سالوا

    Here are the scholars of religion, their knowledge

    At the service of inquiry—but where are those who ask?

  3. الشعب يسعى إليهم حيثما نزلوا

    مثل الحجيج يحييهم ويبتهل

    The people hasten to them wherever they settle,

    Like pilgrims, greeting them and praying fervently.

  4. اللَه ما لم نعد للدين يحفظنا

    ساء المصير فنحن الأمة الهمل

    By God, unless we return to religion to safeguard us,

    Our fate will be dire, for we are a nation left untended.

  5. يا رب هيئ لقومي ما يبصرهم

    فلا يقع منهم التفريط والكسل

    O Lord, provide for my people what will give them insight,

    So that neither negligence nor laziness arises among them.
