ما كُنت أُؤثر في دِيني وَتَوحيدي

خَوادع الآل عَن زادي وَمورودي

I would not prefer in my religion and monotheism

The deceptions of people over my provision and what I was given

غَررنَ بي وَبِحَسبي أَن رِوايَتي

مَلأى هريقت عَلى ظَمَأي مِن البيد

They deceived me and my lineage that my narration

Filled my thirst from the white mountain

أَفرَغتها وَبَرَغمي أَنَّها اِنحَدَرَت

بَيضاء كَالروح في سَوداء صَيخود

I emptied it in spite of me that it flowed

White like the soul in the darkness of doubt

وَرُحت لا أَنا عَن مائي بِمُنتَهل

ماء وَلا أَنها عَن زادي بِمَسعود

And I went not finding relief from my water

Neither it from my provision with happiness

أَشك يُؤلِمُني شَكي وَاَبحَث عَن

بَرد اليَقين فَيفنى فيهِ مَجهودي

Doubt hurts me, my doubt and I search for

The coolness of certainty and my effort perishes in it

أَشك لا عَن رِضا مِني وَيَقتُلُني

شَكي وَيَذبَل مِن وَسواسه عودي

I doubt not from my consent and it kills me

My doubt and my twig withers from its obsession

وَكَم أَلوذ بِمَن لاذَ الأَنام بِهِ

وَأَبتَغي الظل في تَيهاء صَيهود

And how often I take refuge in the one people take refuge in

And I seek shade in the straying of doubt

اللَهُ لِي وَلصرح الدين مِن رَيب

مَجنونة الرَأي ثارَت حَولَ مَعبودي

God is for me and for the edifice of religion from suspicion

The mad of opinion revolted around my worship

إِن رَاوَغَتني في نُسكي فَكَم وَلَجَت

بِي المَخاطر في دِيني وَتَوحيدي

If it deceived me in my devotion so how much

Danger infiltrated me in my religion and monotheism
