فَكَفَّ يَدَيهِ ثُمَّ أغْلَقَ بَابَهُ

وَأَيْقَنَ أنَّ اللهَ لَيْسَ بِغَافِلِ

He folded his hands, then closed his door

And was certain that God is not unmindful

وَقَالَ لِمَنْ في دارهِ لا تُقاتِلُوا

عَفَا اللهُ عَنْ كُلِّ امرىءٍ لم يُقَاتِلِ

And said to those in his house, do not fight

God has forgiven every person who did not fight

فَكَيْفَ رأيتَ اللهَ صَبَّ عليهمُ الْ

عَدَاوَةَ والبَقْضَاءَ بَعْدَ التّوَاصُلِ

So how did you see God pour upon them

Hostility and animosity after friendship

وكيفَ رَأيتَ الخيرَ أَدْبَرَ عَنْهُمُ

وَوَلَّى كإِدْبَارِ النَّعامِ الجوافلِ

And how did you see good turn away from them

And depart like the fleeing of ostriches
