في بعضِ شِبهِ الزَّوَايَا اليومَ آحَادُ

عن نَهجِ أَسلاَفِهم في العُرفِ قَد حَادُوا

In some corners today there are dissenters

Who have strayed from the path of their ancestors

كانوا يَحيدُونَ عَمَّا لا يَلِيقُ بِهم

منه المِرَاسُ وإن ضَمَّتهُ ألحَادُ

They used to avoid what was unbecoming of them

Of it is compromise, even if pressed by dissenters

أولَى لِمَن رَامَ سَيراً أن يَكُونَ لَهُ

في السيرِ عن شُمَّخِ الأَطوَادِ إلحَادُ

It is best for one who wants to walk rightly

To dissent from the obstinacy of the stubborn

ما الشَّمسُ مثلَ السها كلاً وَما اتَّحَدَت

عِندَ الجِذابِ سَراحينٌ وَآسادُ

The sun is not like the stars, nor are they united

In allure, horses and camels dissent

وما تَشَاكَلَ مَطرُوحٌ ومُطَّرَحَ

وَما تَشابَه إصلاحٌ وَإِفسادُ

What is flung is not similar to what casts

Nor is reform similar to corruption in dissent

فلِلشَّقرويينَ أَرواحٌ مُطهَّرَةٌ

مِن كُلِّ ذَامٍ وأجسادٌ بها سَادُوا

So the Shugrwis have purified spirits

From all blemish, and bodies with which they excelled
