نهاني حلمي فما أَظْلِمُ

وعزَّ مكاني فما أُظلَمُ

My dreams warned me, so I have not been wronged,

My forbearance restrained me, so I do not wrong,

And my status is high, so I have not been oppressed,

And my station is mighty, so I am not wronged.

ولا بدّ من حاسد قلبُه

بنور مآثرنا مظلمُ

Yet there must be haters whose hearts

There is no avoiding an envier whose heart

Are darkened by the light of our feats,

Is darkened by the light of our noble deeds.

قفَانَا الحسودُ ولسنا كما

يقول ولكن كما يعلمُ

The envious have stood against us, but we are not as

The jealous one slandered us, yet we are not as

They say, rather we are as is known,

He claims, but rather as he truly knows.
