لا تَكذِبَنَّ فَإِن فَعَلتَ فَلا تَقُل

كَذِباً عَلى رَبِّ السَماءِ تَكَسُّبا

Do not lie, for if you do, do not claim

A falsehood against the Lord of the sky intentionally

فَاللَهُ فَردٌ قادِرٌ مِن قَبلِ أَن

تُدعى لِآدَمَ صورَةٌ أَو تُحسَبا

For Allah is One, All Powerful before

Adam was called to form or considered

وَإِذا اِنتَسَبتَ فَقُلتَ إِنّي واحِدٌ

مِن خَلقِهِ فَكَفى بِذاكَ تَنَسُّبا

And if you claim descent, saying "I am one

Of His creations" - that is enough ancestry

أَشباحُ إِنسٍ يَخضِبونَ صَوارِماً

تَحتَ العَجاجِ وَيَركُضونَ الشُسبا

Ghostly silhouettes of humanity who stain swords

Under oppression and race the ponies

وَيُمارِسونَ مِنَ الظَلامِ غَياهِباً

وَيُواصِلونَ فَيَقطَعونَ السَبسَبا

And practice from the darkness unknown lands

And continue to sever the lineage

وَمُرادُهُم عَذبٌ خَسيسٌ قَدرُهُ

شَرِبوا لَهُ مَقراً لِكَيما يَلسِبا

And their desire is despicable, insignificant in value

They drank to it a place so as to attain it immorally

وَلَقَد عَلِمتُ فَما التَمَضُّرُ نافِعي

أَنّي سَأَتبَعُ نَيسَباً لِاِبنَي سَبا

And I knew yet pretending to be unaware does not benefit me

That I will follow the ways of my descendants immorally

سَبَأَ المُدامَةَ فَاِستَدامَ مَسَرَّةً

فيما يُظَنُّ وَلَم يَرِع لمّا سَبى

He sought pleasure so he continually pursued enjoyment

In what is assumed and did not refrain from what he sought disgracefully

روحٌ إِذا رَحَلَت عَنِ الجِسمِ الَّذي

سَكَنَت بِهِ فَمَآلُهُ أَن يَرسُبا

A soul when it departs from the body it inhabited

Its fate is to decay disgracefully
