1. عاصٍ مُسيءٌ مُذنِبٌ مُتَعَتِّبٌ

    أَخفى رِضاهُ وَأَظهَرَ الغَضَبا

    Disobedient, a wrongdoer, guilty, and reproachful,

    He concealed his favor and displayed his anger.

  2. إِني اِعتَذَرتُ إِلَيهِ مِن ذَنبٍ لَهُ

    عِندي لِيُظهِرَ لي الرِضا فَأَبى

    Indeed, I apologized to him for an offense of his

    Against me, so that he might show me favor—but he refused.

  3. أَفَلَيسَ ذا يا إِخوَتي عَجَباً

    قالوا بَلى فَكَفى بِذا عَجَبا

    Is this not a wonder, then, my brothers?

    They said, 'Yes; this is wonder enough.'
