نَظَرت إِلى هَذا الوجودِ فَلَم أَجِد

بِهِ غَيرَ كَذّابٍ مُراءٍ مُخادِعِ

I looked upon this existence and found

None but deceivers, hypocrites, and tricksters

وَمَسخَرةٍ نالَ المَعالي بِسُخفِهِ

قَد اِعتادَ صَكاً في القَفا وَالأَخادِعِ

And a buffoon who attained heights through his idiocy

Having grown accustomed to striking his own nape and temples

وَجَمّاعةٍ للمالِ قَد باعَ دِينَهُ

بِنَزرٍ مِن الدُنيا كَثير المَطامِعِ

And a people who sold their faith

For a pittance of this world, exceedingly avaricious

وَذي عَرشَةٍ مُستأذِب مُتنَمِّسٍ

جَهولٍ تَعاطى الكِبر في زِيِّ خاشِعِ

And a pretentious, affected, ignorant man

Who assumed arrogance in the guise of humility

وَأَمّا الَّذي يَقفُو شَريعَةَ أَحمَدٍ

فَأَقلِل بِهِ مِن صادِقِ الدينِ صادِعِ

And as for those few who follow Ahmed's Law

Sincere, vocal Muslims are very rare indeed
