وَما حُمِّلَ الإِنسانُ مِثلَ أَمانَةٍ

أَشَقَّ عَلَهيِ حينَ يَحمِلُها حِملا

No burden was placed on man like faithfulness,

Which has weighed on him heavily since he bore it.

فَإِن أَنتَ حُمِّلتَ الأَمانَةَ فَاصطَبر

عَلَيها فَقَد حُمِّلتَ مِن أَمرِها ثِقلا

If you were burdened with faithfulness, endure it,

For you were charged with a weighty matter.

وَلا تَقبَلَن فِيمَن رَضِيتَ نَمِيمَةً

وَقُل لِلَّذي يَأتيكَ يَحمِلُها مَهلا

And do not accept from those you approve backbiting,

And say to those who carry tales to you: wait a moment!
