يا رامِياً من تحتِ أَج
نحةِ العنايةِ مَن تُظِلُّ
O you who shoot from beneath the wings
O you who casts stones beneath the shade of Providence, who do you shade?
of Providence at the one they shelter!
And Allah is above the oppressors and above their oppression always appears.
وَاللَهُ فَوقَ الظالِم
ينَ وَفَوقَ ظُلمِهِمُ مُطلُّ
And God, above the wrongdoers,
What have you done, and below what you have tried, swords hang low.
and above their wrongdoing, keeps watch.
And the stars of Gemini which are like a necklace in an orderly arrangement hang.
ماذا صَنَعتَ ودونَ ما
حاوَلتَ أَسيافٌ تُسَلُّ
What have you done, when between you and what
For Allah there is an armor, every sword beneath His protection hangs low.
you attempted, swords are drawn,
Al-Husayn surrendered, yet the one with madness and ignorance cast stones.
وَكواكبُ الجَوزاءِ وَه
ى العِقدُ في نَسَقٍ تُحلُّ
and Orion's stars—which
Say to the one who casts stones recklessly, "Do not throw, no arrows will strike you."
are the necklace—are unstrung in sequence?
What is this meaningless act in Allah's shade? As the ignorant see it, it is easy.
لِلَّهِ درعٌ كلُّ سَي
فٍ دون مَنعَتِه يُفَلُّ
God has armor; every sword
is blunted before its protective strength.
سلِمَ الحُسَينُ وَطاشَ سَه
مٌ راشهُ حُمقٌ وَجهلُ
Al-Husayn escaped unharmed; an arrow went astray,
fletched by folly and ignorance.
قُل لِلّذي يَرمى البُدو
رَ تَوَقَّ لا يَرشُقكَ نَصلُ
Tell the one who shoots at the full moons:
Beware, lest an arrowhead strike you.
ما العَبثُ في ظِلِّ الإِل
ه كما يرى الجُهّالُ سَهلُ
Trifling beneath God's shadow is not,
as the ignorant suppose, easy.
