وَأُناسٌ غَرَّني ظَاهِرُهُمْ

وَجَوَى بَاطِنِهمْ كُلُّ مُعِيبَه

Some people deceived me with their outward show,

Yet their inner secrets were all blameworthy.

أَخْطَأَتْ عَينيَ في نَقْدِهِمِ

أَيْقَظَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَيْناً مُصِيبَه

My eyes were mistaken in judging them -

May God awaken for them a discerning eye.
