جزى اللَه خيراً عن بلالٍ وصحبهِ

عتيقاً وأخزى فاكِهاً وأباجَهلِ

May Allah reward Bilal and his companions,

The free man and the slave enjoying fruits and dates,

عشيةَ همّا في بلالٍ بسوءَةٍ

ولم يحذروا ما يحذرُ المرءُ ذُو العقلِ

In the evening they worried about Bilal with evil intentions,

And they did not fear what a reasonable man should fear,

بتوحيده ربَّ الأنامِ وقوله

شهدتُ بأن اللَه ربي على مَهلِ

With his devotion to the Lord of creation and his words:

"I bear witness that Allah is my Lord" at leisure,

فإن تقتلوني تقتلوني ولم أكن

لأشرك بالرحمنِ من خيفَةِ القتلِ

If you kill me, you kill me, while I have never

Associated anyone with the Merciful out of fear of death,

فيا ربَّ إبراهيم والعبد يُونُسٍ

ومُوسى وعيسى نجني ثم لا تُملي

O Lord of Abraham, Jonah the servant

And Moses and Jesus, deliver me but do not make me despair

لمن ظل يهوى الغيَّ من آل غالبٍ

على غيرِ برٍّ كانَ منهُ ولا عَدل

Of those who wrongfully loved the misguided people of Ghalib

With neither kindness nor justice from them
