إِن كانَ لي ذَنبٌ فَلي حُرمَةٌ

وَالحَقُّ لا يَدفَعُهُ الباطِلُ

If I have sinned, I still have dignity

And truth cannot be dispelled by falsehood

وَحُرمَتي أَعظَمُ مِن زَلَّتي

لَو نالَني مِن عَدلِكُم نائِلُ

My dignity is greater than my misstep

If I were to attain justice from you all

وَلي حُقوقٌ غَيرُ مَجهولَةٍ

يَعرِفُها العاقِلُ وَالجاهِلُ

I have rights that are not unknown

The wise and the ignorant both know them

وَكُلُّ إِنسانٍ لَهُ مَذهَبٌ

وَأَهلُ ما يَفعَلُهُ الفاعِلُ

Every person has a doctrine

And people bear what the doer does

وَسيرَةُ الأَملاكِ مَنقولَةٌ

لا جائِرٌ يَخفى وَلا عادِلُ

The conduct of rulers is recorded

No unjust or just ruler can hide

وَقَد تَعَجَّلتَ الَّذي خِفتُهُ

مِنكَ وَلَم يَأتِ الَّذي آمُلُ

You rushed what I feared from you

And what I hoped did not come
