كَم مِن وَلِيٍّ عارِفٍ

كَم مِن وَلِيٍّ عارِفٍ

قَد أَنكَروا بِالجَهلِ سِرَّهْ

قَد أَنكَروا بِالجَهلِ سِرَّهْ

Many a saint, a knower of God,

has had his secret denied by them in ignorance.

إِنَّ الوَليَّ لَدَيهِمُ

إِنَّ الوَليَّ لَدَيهِمُ

ذو الجاهِ لَو أَبدى المَضَرَّهْ

ذو الجاهِ لَو أَبدى المَضَرَّهْ

Indeed, a saint in their eyes is

a man of standing, even if he brings harm.
