وَجَدَ الحاسِدونَ فينا مَقالا

فَوَّقوا أَسهُماً لَنا وَنِبالا

The envious found fault with us,

And sharpened their arrows and spears against us.

عَجِبوا أَنَّ قانِصاً بَثَّ في الآ

فاقِ أَشراكَهُ فَصادَ غَزالا

They were surprised that a hunter spread

His snare in the horizons and caught a gazelle.

مِلءُ عَيني مَلاحَةً وَجَمالاً

وَفُؤادي مَهابَةً وَجَلالا

My eyes are filled with softness and beauty,

And my heart with awe and majesty,

فَاِعذِلوا فيهِ كَيفَ شِئتُم وَقولوا

قَد كَفى اللَهُ المُؤمِنينَ القِتالا

So blame it as you wish and say:

God has sufficed the believers from fighting.
