عجبتُ لقومٍ أطلقوا سهمَ مكرِهم
ولمْ تُغنِهم ممَّن مَضَوْا كلُّ عِبرةِ
I am amazed by people who launched the arrow of their deceit,
Yet all the lessons of those who passed did not benefit them.
يداهنُ منهم كلُّ وَغْدٍ بلُؤْمِه
لإطفاءِ نورٍ أو لإشعالِ فتنةِ
Every morrow, they fawn on those among them with their afflictions,
To extinguish a light or ignite strife.
سعَى (صالحٌ) لا أصلَحَ اللهُ سعيَه
لإنكارِ حقٍّ مِن كتابٍ وسُنَّةِ
Saalih strove - may Allah not make his effort successful -
To deny a right from the Book and Sunnah.
فعمَّا قريبٍ يلتقي الموتَ دونها
ويصبحُ منها في هوانٍ وذِلَّةِ
So before long, death will meet him beyond which
He will be in humiliation and disgrace.
عليكَ من الرحمن ما تستحقُّه
ونلتَ مزيدًا مِن عذابٍ وشِقْوَةِ
Upon you is what you deserve from the Most Merciful,
And you have gotten increased punishment and wretchedness.
تَتَبَّعُ وحيًا مِن شياطينِ عصبةٍ
أضلَّهمُ إبليسُ في كلِّ بقعةِ
You follow inspiration from the devils of a faction
Led astray by Iblis in every place.
وقد أيقنوا أنَّ الإله مُمِدُّهم
وقد علموا ما ذاك إلا لِعِلَّةِ
And they were certain that the God provides for them,
And they knew that was only for a reason.
فما قَدَرُوا رَبَّ البرِيَّةِ حقَّه
ولا عرَفوا فَضْلَ النبيِّ لِلَحظةِ
Yet they did not value the Lord of the wilderness as is His right,
Nor recognized the merit of the Prophet for a moment.
ومَن يَعْشُ عن ذِكر الإله يكنْ له
قرينٌ من الشيطان يُدْلي بخطَّةِ
Whoever lives distracted from remembering Allah,
Satan will be his companion to slip him into mischief.
فما السُّنَّةُ الغرَّاءُ إلا بوحيِه
وليس يُنالُ البرُّ إلا بهمَّةِ
The noble Sunnah is only by His revelation,
And righteousness cannot be attained except with determination.
وحسبُكَ منهم جهْلُهم ونفاقُهم
وفي النُّور حتمًا تنجلي كلُّ ظُلْمَةِ
Their ignorance and hypocrisy is enough from them,
And surely all darkness dissipates in the light.
فكم لجَّ في بحر الضلالة مفسدٌ
وكم هامَ بالتضليل كلُّ جِبِلَّةِ
How many corrupted people have immersed in the sea of misguidance,
And how every wicked nature roamed astray!
وقد أوقدوا للشرِّ نارًا لهيبُها
سيحرِقُهم بالكفر في كلِّ وَقْدَةِ
They have ignited for evil a fire whose flames
Will burn them in disbelief at every kindling.
وما سلكوا في مسلكِ الحقِّ خطوةً
ولا أخلصوا لله يومًا بِنِيَّةِ
They have not tread a single step in the path of truth,
Nor were sincere to Allah one day with intention.
وهم أطلقوا صيْحاتِ بغيٍ مضتْ بها
ضمائرُ سوءٍ تفتري كلَّ فِريةِ
They let out cries of rebellion which corrupted souls followed,
Spreading every nonsense and falsehood.
ومَن يَهْدِهِ الرحمنُ يظفَرْ بفضلِه
ومَن يُخْزِهِ الشيطانُ يرجعْ بحسـرةِ
Whoever Allah guides will succeed by His grace,
And whoever Satan humiliates will return in sorrow.
أتنكِرُ مِن هَدْيِ النبيِّ حديثَه
وتَهذي بِزعمٍ قاطعٍ للمودَّةِ
Do you deny the guidance of the Prophet and his narration,
And rave with a claim that severs affection?
فَمَنْ بيَّن الآياتِ مِن وحيِ ربِّه
ومَن قام يجلو كلَّ شكٍّ ورِيبةِ
For who made clear the verses by revelation of his Lord,
And who arose removing all doubt and suspicion?
ألستَ بمأمورٍ بطاعة أمرِه
مِنَ اللهِ فاحذر كلَّ حَيْدٍ ورِدَّةِ
Are you not ordered to obey his command
From Allah? So beware all deviation and returning.
وقلْ لرسولِ اللهِ سمعًا وطاعةً
ودَعْ عنكَ هذا الزَّيْغَ تظفَرْ برحمةِ
Say to the Messenger of Allah, "Hearing and obedience,"
And leave this deviation to gain mercy.
لقد كان في الماضين قبلُ بصائرٌ
لمن رامَ حربَ الحقِّ مِن كلِّ مِلَّةِ
Indeed, in the past there used to be insight
For whoever sought war against the truth from every faith.
مضتْ سُنَّةُ الرحمن فيهم فأُهلِكوا
وقد كان فيهم حُجَّةٌ بعد حُجَّةِ
The way of the Most Merciful passed judgement on them and they perished
While argument after argument had existed among them.
فإنْ تُنكِروا هَدْيَ النبيِّ فإنما
هو النُّكْرُ للقرآن مِن كلِّ وجْهةِ
If you deny the guidance of the Prophet, then verily
It is denial of the Qur'an from every perspective.
دعوناكُمُ للحقِّ والحقُّ واضحٌ
وليس وراءَ النُّورِ غيرُ الدُّجُنَّةِ
We called you to the truth and the truth is clear,
And there is no darkness beyond the light.
