يا عَلَيماً في اِدعاءٍ
وَجَهولاً في اِمتِحانِ
O learned man—by your own claim—
yet deeply ignorant when put to the test;
وَفَقيراً وَهُوَ مُثرٍ
وَبَعيداً وَهوَ دانِ
poor, though wealthy,
and far removed, though near;
وَوَضيعاً في فُؤادٍ
وَرَفيعاً في عَيانِ
base at heart,
yet lofty in outward show;
أَنتَ كَالمَصلوبِ يَعلو
وَهوَ مُنَحَطُّ المَكانِ
you are like a crucified man, raised on high,
though lowly is his station.
