ويَكْشِفُ بِالآَراءِ ما كَانَ مُشْكِلاً
ولَوْ كَانَ في طَيِّ الضَّميرِ مُكَتَّما
He reveals with opinions what was problematic
Even if it was in the folds of the conscience concealed
يَرى العارَ أَنْ يَثْني العَنانَ عَنْ الرَّدى
إِذا ما ثَنى الطَّعْنُ الوَشيحَ المُقْرَما
He sees shame in pulling the reins back from transgression
When the sharp criticism of the slanderer is twisted
يَرُدُّ غِرارَ المشْرَفيَّ مُثَلَّماً
ضِراباً وصدَر الرّاعِبيَّ مُحَطَّما
He returns the deceit of the arrogant torn apart
Striking and the chest of the intimidator shattered
ومُنْتَقِمٍ حَتَّى إِذا ما تَمَكَّنَتْ
يَميناهُ مِنْ أَعْدائِهِ ظَلَّ مُنْعِما
And avenging until when his right hand overpowered
His enemies, it remained bestowing favor
