1. يا معشر العلماء افتوا سائلا

    فكلامكم وجه الصواب يبين

    O company of scholars, give a questioner your ruling,

    For your words make the right course clear.

  2. من ذا يعادى الله وهو مذمم

    مستهجن مستقبح ملعون

    Who is it that opposes God and is reviled,

    Disdained, deemed vile, accursed?

  3. هل خادم السلطان وهو مكرم

    ام خادم القسيس وهو مهين

    Is it the sultan’s servant, who is honored,

    Or the priest’s servant, who is held in contempt?
