تَعصي الإِلَهَ وَأَنتَ تُظهِرُ حُبَّه

هَذا مُحالٌ في القِياسِ بَديعُ

You disobey God while professing your love for Him

This is impossible to reconcile, uniquely absurd

لَو كانَ حُبُّكَ صادِقاً لأَطَعتَهُ

إِنَّ المُحِبَّ لِمَن يُحِبُّ مُطيعُ

If your love were true, you would obey Him

For the lover is obedient to the beloved

في كُلِّ يَومٍ يَبتَليكَ بِنِعمَةٍ

مِنهُ وَأَنتَ لِشُكرِ ذاكَ مُضيعُ

Each day He tests you with favors

From Him, yet you fail in thanking the Bestower
