لبَّى هَواكُم فابتَدى يَكتُم

وسرُّ من لبَّى الهَوى مُحرِمُ

He obeyed your whims and began to hide

The secret of one who obeys desire is forbidden

فقلت إدلَح أوصِني إنَّما

تمامُ نُسكِ المُحرِمينَ الدَّمُ

So I said, spears guide me, indeed

The pilgrims' rituals are complete with blood

ثمَّ اطَّرَحناهُ ومَجفُونَه

فصارَ لا مِنَّا ولا مِنكُمُ

Then we cast him aside, and his body

Became neither mine nor yours

وفاتنِ المُقلةِ منهوكةٍ

وشرُّ ما بالمَقسِم المُقسَمُ

And the slender one's seduction, exhausted

The worst divider is the oath sworn

يكونُ لا يُسلَمُ مِنها وما

عِندكَ منها أنَّها تَسلَمُ

It remains unsafe from her, though you

Think she is safe with you

وأجمعَ النَّاسُ عَلى لَومِهِ

ظُلماً وقالُوا ساءَ ما يَحكمُ

And people unanimously blamed him

Unjustly, saying he judges poorly

حتَّى إذا أسرَفَ في ظُلمِه

وهُم إذا ما ظُلموا أظلَمُ

Until, exceeding in his injustice

When wronged, they wronged even more

تَبيَّنُوها أنَّها فُرصةٌ

أفردَه اللَّهُ بها فِيهمُ

It became clear it was an opportunity

God singled out for him against them
