سَفَكَت دَمَ الدِنانِ وَما تَشَكَّت

وَيُشكى مِن دَمِ الأَقوامِ سَفكُ

She shed the blood of the feeble, yet she did not complain,

While the shedding of the blood of strong men is complained of.

أَعِفَّكَ عَن يَسارٍ تَبتَغيهِ

رِجالٌ مِن بَني حَوّاءَ عُفكُ

May you be excused for desiring an easy life,

When men, sons of Eve, are lightweights.

لَفَكُّ الريحِ عَن أَمرٍ عَجيبٍ

يُخَبَّرُ أَنَّ أَهلَ الأَرضِ لُفكُ

The turning of the winds from a strange matter

Of which it is reported that the people of earth are lightweights,

إِذا أَفِكوا فَلا تَقبَل وَمَيِّز

فَأَكثَرُ ماجَلَوهُ عَلَيكَ إِفكُ

When they turn in disbelief, do not accept it, and distinguish,

For most of what they attributed to you is falsehood.
