1. اِشتَدَّ بَغيُ الناسِ في الأَرضِ

    وَعُلُوُّ بَعضِهِمُ عَلى بَعضِ

    People's oppression on earth has grown severe,

    and the domination of some of them over others.

  2. دَعهُم وَما اِختاروا لِأَنفُسِهِم

    فَاللَهُ بَينَ عِبادِهِ يَقضي

    Leave them to what they have chosen for themselves,

    for God judges between His servants.

  3. عَجَباً لَهُم لا يَفكُرونَ فَيَع

    تَبِرَ الَّذي يَبقى بِمَن يَمضي

    How strange of them! They do not reflect, so that

    the one who remains might take heed from the one who passes away.
