إذا الفُجّارُ أَطغاهُمْ غِناهُمْ

فعامُهُمُ بهِ عامُ الفِجارِ

When the wicked become arrogant through wealth

Their time becomes like the time of the wicked

فيفجَؤُهمْ بأرماحٍ طِوالٍ

ويفجعُهُمْ بأعمارٍ قِصارِ

So it surprises them with long spears

And saddens them with short lives

فمن دامي الكعوبِ بذي كعوبٍ

مَخضوبِ الفقارِ بذي الفقارِ

So whoever subjugates the people with cruelty

Will have his spine bloodied by cruelty
