إِذا اللَهُ حَيّا مَعشَراً بِفِعالِهِم

وَنَصرِهِمِ الرَحمَنَ رَبَّ المَشارِقِ

When God revives a people through their deeds,

And the Merciful Lord helps them in the east,

فَأَهلَكَ رَبّي يا عُتَيبَ بنَ مالِكٍ

وَلَقّاكَ قَبلَ المَوتِ إِحدى الصَواعِقِ

Then may my Lord destroy you, O Utaybah bin Malik,

And may you be struck by lightning before death.

بَسَطتَ يَميناً لِلنَبِيِّ بِرَميَةٍ

فَأَدمَيتَ فاهُ قُطِّعَت بِالبَوارِقِ

You extended your hand against the Prophet with an arrow,

So you bloodied his mouth, torn by lightning.

فَهَلّا خَشيتَ اللَهَ وَالمَنزِلَ الَّذي

تَصيرُ إِلَيهِ بَعدَ إِحدى الصَفائِقِ

Why did you not fear God and the place

Where you will end up after one of the calamities?

لَقَد كانَ خِزياً في الحَياةِ لِقَومِهِ

وَفي البَعثِ بَعدَ المَوتِ إِحدى العَوالِقِ

It was disgraceful for his people in life,

And after death, one of the greatest calamities.

فَمَن عاذِري مِن عَبدِ عُذرَةَ بَعدَما

هَوى في دَجوجِيٍّ مِنَ البَحرِ خافِقِ

So who can excuse me from Abd Udhra after

He fell into the turbulent, stormy sea?
