لا تَظلِمَنَّ إِذا ما كُنتَ مُقتَدِراً

فَالظُلمُ مَرتَعُهُ يُفضي إِلى النَدَمِ

Do not oppress when you have power

Do not commit injustice whenever you possess the power,

For oppression will lead to regret

For the path of injustice leads ultimately to regret.

تَنامُ عَينُكَ وَالمَظلومُ مُنتَبِهٌ

يَدعو عَلَيكَ وَعَينُ اللَهِ لَم تَنَمِ

You sleep with eyes closed while the oppressed keeps vigil

Your eyes sleep while the oppressed remains awake,

Invoking curse on you as God's eyes never sleep

Praying against you, while the Eye of God never sleeps.
