وَلي حَكَمٌ عَدلٌ سميعٌ ومُبصرُ

عليمٌ بما في النفسِ مِن سِرٍّ أو نَجوَى

My ruler's judgment is fair, he is all-hearing and all-seeing,

Knowing what is hidden in the soul, whispered or private.

وتعلمُ أنيِّ ما سمَحتُ مخَافةً

ولكن إِلى يوم الأذانِ كما يُروَى

And you know I have not acted so out of fear,

But until the day of the call to prayer, as the tale goes.
