اِبنَ نِهيا رَأسٌ عَلَيَّ ثَقيلُ

وَاِحتِمالُ الرَأسَينِ خَطبٌ جَليلُ

The son of Nahya, his head weighs heavy upon me,

Bearing two heads is an immense trial.

اِدعُ غَيري إِلى عِبادَةِ الاِثنَي

نِ فَإِنّي بِواحِدٍ مَشغولُ

Summon another to worship the dual gods,

For I am occupied with the One.

يا اِبنَ نِهيا بَرِئتُ مِنكَ إِلى اللَ

هِ جِهاراً وَذاكَ مِنّي قَليلُ

O son of Nahya, openly I disavow you before God,

Though it be but little of me.
