ذَري عَنكِ أَقوالَ الضَلالِ كَفى بِنا

لِكَبشِ الوَغى في اليَومِ وَالأَمسِ ناطِحا

Leave off saying words of misguidance, for it is enough for us

To butt heads with the ram of turmoil yesterday and today

فَخالِدُ أَولى بِالتَعَذُّرِ مِنكُمُ

غَداةَ عَلا نَهجاً مِنَ الحَقِّ واضِحا

So Khaled is more deserving of excuses than you all

The morning after he followed a clear path of truth

عَلَيكُم بِإِذنِ اللَهِ يُزجي مُصَمِّماً

سَوانِحَ لا تَكبو لَها وَبَوارِحا

With God's permission, he thrusts against you with resolve

Sides that do not shrink away and active limbs

نَعَوا مالِكاً بِالتاجِ لَمّا هَبَطنَهُ

عَوابِسَ في هابي الغُبارِ كَوالِحا

You cried over Malik with the crown when he descended upon you

Gloomily amidst stirring dust clouds

فَإِن تَكُ قَد أَبكَتكَ سَلمى بِمالِكٍ

تَرَكنا عَلَيهِ نائِحاتٍ وَنائِحا

But if Salma's weeping over Malik has made you cry

We left over him weeping women and weeping men
