بُغْضِي لصادٍ أنني رجلٌ

بُغْضِي لصادٍ أنني رجلٌ

أُصفِي المودَّةَ مني للحواميمِ

أُصفِي المودَّةَ مني للحواميمِ

My hatred of Ṣād is because I am a man

My enemy being Sade

Who gives his sincere affection to the Ḥā-Mīm chapters.

I strain affection from me to the rabble

وليس بغضِي لقرآنٍ ولا مقَتِي

وليس بغضِي لقرآنٍ ولا مقَتِي

إياه تالله بل للصادِ والميمِ

إياه تالله بل للصادِ والميمِ

And I do not hate the Qur’an, nor do I loathe

And my hatred is not for Quran, I don't detest it

It—by God! Rather, Ṣād and Mīm.

Nay, by God, but for Sade and Meem
