1. أنيكُ النصارى والذين تهوّدوا

    وقالوا بإنّا قد قتلنا ابنَ مريم

    I strike the Christians and those who became Jews

    And said we killed the son of Mary

  2. وكلّ مجوسيّ شريفٍ وإنّني

    أرى نيكَهم فرضاً على كلّ مسلم

    And every honorable Magus, and I

    See their goodness as an obligation on every Muslim

  3. وقد نِكتُهم دهراً طويلاً وآنفاً

    أجول بأيري بين أفخاذ مجرمِ

    And I have harmed them for a long, grueling time

    I wander, unsheathing my sword, between the thighs of criminals

  4. فهذا فعالي ما حييتُ وإنّني

    أعاف من اللذاتِ ما لم يُحرّمِ

    So these are my deeds as long as I live, and I

    Refrain from pleasures only what is made unlawful
