زَعَموا بِأَنَّهُمُ صَفَوا لِمَليكِهِم

كَذَبوكَ ما صافَوا وَلَكِن صافوا

They claimed that they aligned for their king

You lied, they did not align but maligned

شَجَرُ الخِلافِ قُلوبُهُم وَيحٌ لَها

غَرَضي خِلافُ الحَقِّ لا الصَفصافُ

The tree of conflict planted in their hearts, oh woe to it

My aim is against truth not to align

فَتَبارَكَ اللَهُ الَّذي هُوَ قادِرٌ

تَعيا وَتَقصُرُ دونَهُ الأَوصافُ

So blessed is Allah who is able

To fail and fall short of His attributes

الظُلمُ أَكثَرُ ما يَعيشُ بِهِ الفَتى

وَأَقَلُّ شَيءٍ عِندَهُ الإِنصافُ

Oppression is what the youth mostly live by

And fairness least in their eyes

مُنِعَت مِنَ القِسمِ الحُقوقُ كَأَنَّها

رَجَزٌ تَهافَتَ مالَهُ أَنصافُ

Rights were denied in the share as if they were

A faulty poem whose rhymes mismatch

وَعُنوا فَقالَ الشافِعيُّ وَمالِكٌ

وَأَبو حَنيفَةَ قَبلُ وَالخَصّافُ

So said Ash-Shafi’i, Malik

And Abu Hanifah before and Al-Khassaf
