تَفَرَّقوا كَي يَقِلَّ شَرُّكُم

فَإِنَّما الناسُ كُلُّهُم وَسَخُ

They separated so that your evil would lessen

Yet all people are totally corrupt

أَجهِل بِساداتِهِم وَإِن زَعَموا

أَنَّهُمُ في عُلومِهِم رَسَخوا

I'm ignorant of their chiefs though they claim

To be firmly rooted in knowledge

ما فَسَخوا بِالقَبيحِ عَهدَهُمُ

ضَنّوا وَأَمّا بِسِرَّهُمُ فَسَخوا

They didn't break their promise of ugly deeds

They were stingy yet they wasted their own secrets

قَد نُسِخَ الشَرعُ في عُصورِهِمُ

فَلَيتَهُمُ مِثلَ شَرعِهِم نُسِخوا

Religion was abolished in their eras

If only they, like their religion, were abolished
