الصبر في الملك الديان مفروض

فاصبر فإن سبيل الحق مبغوض

Patience in the just king is obligatory

So be patient, for the path of truth is hated

ما دام أهل التقى لم تعل رايتهم

أهل الطغى فهم القوم المباغيض

As long as the people of piety have not raised their flags

The people of tyranny, they are the hated folk

كان النبيء وكان الوحي يرشده

يلقى الأذى وله في الصبر تحريض

The prophet was and revelation guided him

He suffered harm, and patience urged him

كم مرة ذرفت بالدمع مقلته

اذغال صحبته وطي وترميض

How often his eyelids shed tears

When his companions oppressed and harmed him

لو عاين السفها يوماً وقد خضبت

بالفرث لمته والسن مرضوض

If the foolish saw a day when his beard was dyed

With dust and his tooth knocked out

حتى مضى بلد الأحباش أكثرهم

والمصطفى أعفر الخدين مركوض

Until he went to the land of the Abyssinians, most of them

And the Chosen One, cheeks covered in dust, banished

أو عاينوه وقد حل العصاة به

في الغار والصاحب الصديق معضوض

Or they saw him when the rebels descended upon him

In the cave and the truthful companion bruised

أو شاهدوا بحنين كيف كان وما

صالى وما فعلت في جيشه البيض

Or witnessed in Hunain how it was and what

He prayed and what his white army did

أو حين عاد عن البيت العتيق على

قسر وعارضه في ذاك تعريض

Or when he reluctantly returned from the Ancient House

And they hinted at blame in that

أو حين قال له أهل النفاق بها

في وعد ربك يا كذاب تمريض

Or when the hypocrites told him lies

In your Lord's promise, O fabricator of lies

أو حين قال وقال المسلمون له

نصر الاله متى والدين معضوض

Or when he and the Muslims said to him

When will God give victory and the religion be supported

لو أن دعوته في الأرض قد عمرت

عشراً للعلم المختار مكضوض

Had his call in the land lasted ten

The chosen knowledge would be erased

لم يستمر إِمام ناله وصب

أو ناله لكلام الهجر تمضيض

No leader who attained it and was poured

Or was poured into him insults and threats remained

من بعد ما علموا علم اليقين معاً

بأن مطلبه نصح وتحضيض

After they knew with sure knowledge together

That his goal was advice and encouragement

لكن عنت لهم الأخيار واتعظت

فالعهد من خدع الأشرار منقوض

But the virtuous were harmed and took heed

So the covenant of the wicked is annulled

واليوم إِن ضحك الكفار أو سخروا

فأعلم بأن غداً هم هم مداحيض

And today if the disbelievers laugh or mock

Know that tomorrow they will be the ones in anguish

إِن يسخروا بالاه العالمين ففي

قعر الجحيم لهم لفح وتقضيض

If they mock the God of the worlds, then in

The depths of Hell for them is burning and fragmentation

بعد العذاب بأيدي المؤمنين إِذا

ما المرهفات لها في الهام تقويض

After the torment at the hands of the believers, when

The sensitive ones among them have their resolve undone

كم قابل لسبيل الحق منك غداً

قد رده سفهاً والحق مبغوض

How many faced the path of truth from you tomorrow

Whom foolishness turned away, and truth is hated

فاصبر على السفها صبر الكرام وكن

جلداً فذكرك للشكواء مرفوض

So be patient with the foolish, the patience of the generous

And be steadfast, for your mention to the complaining is refused

حتى ترى فرجاً من واحد أحد

كل الخلائق في يمناه مقبوض

Until you see relief from The One, The Unique

All creation in His right hand gripped

هذا بقة من كل الأمور له

والخلق ثم إِذا ما خاف تهضيض

This remains from all matters for Him

And creation, then if we fear fragmentation

واقرا السلام على المختار سيدنا

إِن السلام على المختار مفروض

And read peace upon the Chosen One, our master

For peace upon the Chosen One is obligatory
