1. ما شاهدانِ الى الشهادةِ أُلجئا

    وَعليهما للزور أَلفا شاهدِ

    Which two witnesses were compelled to testify,

    With two thousand witnesses accusing them of falsehood?

  2. شَهدا بِما لم يَعلَما وعلى الَّذي

    لَم يَعرِفاهُ على اختلاف مواردِ

    They testified to what they did not know, and against one

    Whom they did not know, despite the varied circumstances.

  3. مَعَ ذاك صُدِّقتِ الشهادةُ منهما

    وَالناس ترفُضها بصوتٍ واحدِ

    Nevertheless, their testimony was believed,

    And the people reject it with one voice.

  4. واذا الحقيقةُ قد بدت من بينها

    مثل الصلاح اذا بدا من فاسدِ

    And behold, the truth has appeared from within it,

    Like goodness when it emerges from someone corrupt.
