إِنَّي نَظَرتُ إِلى الحَوادِثِ نَظرَةً

كَشَفَت حَقائِقَها لِعَينِ المُبصِرِ

I looked upon events with a glance

That unveiled their realities to the seeing eye.

وَضَحُ اليَقينُ لِذي التَظَنُّنِ جَهرَةً

وَبَدا سَبيلُ الحائِرِ المُتَعَثِّرِ

Certainty became clear to the doubtful one openly,

And the way of the confused, stumbling one was evident.

هِيَ فِتنَةٌ عَمياءُ وَيحَكَ فَاِحتَرِس

وَبِلِيَّةٌ حَمَقى لَعَمرُكَ فَاِحذَرِ

It is a blind strife, so beware,

It is foolish havoc, by your life, so take heed.

لا تَذهَبَنّ مَعَ العَواصِفِ وَاِجتَنِب

هَبَواتِ هَذا الحادِثِ المُتَنَمِّرِ

Do not go along with the storms, and avoid

The commotions of this defiant incident.

اجمَع لَهُ تَقوى الإِلَهِ فِإِنَّها

أَمنُ المَروعِ وَنَجدَةُ المُستَنصِرِ

Gather for it the piety of God, for it

Is the safety of the frightened and the aid of the seeker of help.

إِنّي حَلَلتُ مِنَ الإِلَهِ مَحَلَّةً

تلوي بِيَأسِ الظالِمِ المُتَجَبِّرِ

I have taken from God a position

That will twist the despair of the unjust tyrant.

رَبِّ اِتَّخِذني مِن عِبادِكَ إِنَّهُم

عَزّوا بِنَصرٍ مِن لَدُنكَ مُؤَزَّرِ

My Lord, make me among Your servants, for they

Find might in the support that comes from You, empowered.
