إذا ما رأينا آدماً وفعِالَه

إذا ما رأينا آدماً وفعِالَه

كما شاء أمرُ اللَه من أوَّل الدُّنا

كما شاء أمرُ اللَه من أوَّل الدُّنا

If we see Adam and his deeds

When we saw Adam and his deeds

as God's decree ordained from the world's beginning,

As Allah had willed from the beginning of time

فلا نُتْهِمَنْهُ قائلين لعَقده

فلا نُتْهِمَنْهُ قائلين لعَقده

وتزويجِه إبنيه بنتيه بالخنا

And marrying his sons to his daughters in sin

فهذا مقالٌ يَقتضي الآن شرعنا

فهذا مقالٌ يَقتضي الآن شرعنا

فيكذب من يهجو الأنام بقوله

وإن جميعَ الخلق من عُنصر الزنا

وإن جميعَ الخلق من عُنصر الزنا

So whoever reviles mankind lies when he says,

It is a lie when one slanders people saying

'And indeed, all creation comes from the stock of fornication.'

له سننٌ تقضي قضاءً مبيَّنا

Did you not see the Lord of Law in every period

has ordinances that render a clearly stated judgment?

He has norms that judge with a clear decree

إذا كان من سنَّ الشريعةَ واحداً

هو اللَه كان الحق في الكل بَيِّنا

هو اللَه كان الحق في الكل بَيِّنا

If the one who ordained the law is one—

If the One who legislated the Law is Allah

God Himself—then the truth is clear in all.

The truth in all would be evident and pristine
