أَخَفَّت حُلومُ الناسِ أَم كانَ مَن مَضى

مِنَ القَومِ جُهّالاً خِفافَ حُلومِ

Have people's reason diminished or were those gone foolish with little reason?

So do not grieve for the lamb if her son approaches

فَلا تَأسَفَنَّ الشاَةُ إِن أُدنِيَ اِبنُها

لِشَفرَةِ عاتٍ لِلرِجالِ ظَلومِ

The blade of a harsh man with evil intent

If the innocent one approached them in the morning

فَلَو حَمَلُ الخَضراءِ أَصبَحَ بَينَهُم

لَآضَ ذَبيحاً أَو نَجا بِكُلومِ

He would be a slaughtered sacrifice or saved with ransom

When you can escape people like them only through death

أُناسٌ مَتى تَهرُب إِلى القَبرِ مِنهُمُ

فَأَنتَ بِعِلمِ اللَهِ غَيرُ مَلومِ

Then by Allah's knowledge, you cannot be blamed
