The night's visitation brought him a formidable man as a guest,
The night has added confusion
Steadfast when the young man remains full of dread.
To one who persists though he delays
بَداhe began بِحَرامِwith what is forbidden by اللَهِGod حَتّىuntil اِستَحَلَّهُhe deemed it lawful
بَدا بِحَرامِ اللَهِ حَتّى اِستَحَلَّهُ
وَكانَand was شِفاءًa cure ثَأرُvengeance for نَفسيmyself مُعَجِّلُswift
وَكانَ شِفاءً ثَأرُ نَفسي مُعَجِّلُ
He began with what God had forbidden, until he deemed it lawful,
He began by violating sacred law until he permitted it
And swift vengeance for myself was a cure.
And my soul's quick vengeance was a remedy
