أُنبئت أن سخيف العقل قال لكم

أُنبئت أن سخيف العقل قال لكم

إن الذي شاء خلقي شاء سفك دمي

إن الذي شاء خلقي شاء سفك دمي

I was told that a feeble-minded man said to you

I was told that a fool said to you all

I was told that a feeble-minded fool declared to you,

that He who willed my creation willed the shedding of my blood.

That He who willed my creation willed my blood be shed

That He who willed my creation has willed my blood be shed;

وكيف يقتلني من سوف أقتله

وكيف يقتلني من سوف أقتله

وهل تزلُّ وربي ناصري قدمي

وهل تزلُّ وربي ناصري قدمي

And how can one whom I shall kill kill me?

And how can He kill me, whom I will kill

Yet how can he slay me, he whom I am destined to slay?

And can my foot slip while my Lord is my helper?

Never! My Lord is the helper of my steps

And how could my foot slip while my Lord is my support?
