يَقولُ خَليلِيَ قَولَ الخَليل

لَآزَرِهِ في اِتِّخاذِ الصَنَمِ

My friend says to his friend as Khalil said

To his companion in making an idol

أَيا أَبَتي ظالِماً قَد عَبَد

تَ ما لَيسَ يُغنيكَ أَعمى أَصَم

Oh my father, you wrongfully worshipped

What cannot hear or see, blind and deaf

كَذا أَنا أَعبُدُ دونَ الكِرا

مِ مَن لَيسَ في خُلُقَيهِ كَرَم

So too I worship apart from the Noble One

Who has no nobility in His creation

فَلا هُوَ يُؤبِسُ مِنهُ بِلا

وَلا هُوَ يُؤنِسُ مِنهُ نَعَم

He brings from it no affliction or ill

Nor comfort or bounty when times are well
