1. سفكُ الدماء الحرام جُرمٌ

    به غداً يبدأ الحسابُ

    Shedding inviolable blood is a crime;

    with it, the reckoning begins tomorrow.

  2. ومن أولي العلم من رأى

    أن ليس لسفّاكها مثابُ

    And some among the learned have held

    that its shedder has no way back to repentance.

  3. فراقبَ اللهَ واجتَنِبهَا

    واحذَر يضاعف له العذابُ

    So be mindful of God and avoid it,

    and beware: his punishment is doubled.
