أَيَا رَبِّ هَلْ مِنْ نُصْرَةٍ لشَرِيعَةٍ

أَتانَا بِها عَنْكَ الرَّسولُ المطَهَّرُ

O Lord, is there no aid for the Law

That your pure Messenger brought to us?

غَدَتْ لُعْبَةً ما بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ تَضاحَكوا

بِها وبِمَن يَدْعُو إليْها ويَأْمُرُ

It has become a plaything passed between a people who jest

With it and with him who calls to it and commands it.

يَقُومُونَ في نَصْرِ الْقَوِيِّ فكُلُّهُمْ

لَهُ وَعَلَى ذِي الضَّعْفِ نارٌ تُسَعَّرُ

They rally to aid the strong, all of them,

Against the weak a fire is kindled and blazes.

إذَا غُلِبوا لا يَغْدرونَ بذِمَّةٍ

وإن غَلَبُوا يَؤْماً فبالغَدْر يَغْدُروا

If they are defeated they do not betray a pledge,

But if they are victorious, treacherously they betray.

وإن قَدَرُوا تاهُوا عَلَى كُلِّ فاضِلٍ

وإنْ كانَ ذُو حَقٍّ فلِلحَقِّ يُنكروا

If they have power they go astray, over every virtuous man,

And if he has a right, they deny his right.

أيا رَبِّ لا تُمْهِلْهُمُ منْ عُقُوبَةٍ

فإنَّكَ إنْ تُمْهِلْهُمُ الْيَوْمَ يَبْطَروا

O Lord, do not give them respite from punishment,

For if You give them respite today, they transgress.

فَقَدْ شَرعُوا في هَدْمِ شِرْعَةِ أحْمَدٍ

وأنْتَ لَها يا رَبِّ تَحْمِي وتنْصُرُ

They have begun to demolish the Law of Ahmad,

While You, O Lord, protect it and bring it victory.
