1. أمنك الله وسلطانه

    على الذي أنت به قائمُ

    God and His sovereign have entrusted you

    with that which you oversee.

  2. فاحكم بما تعلمه لاتنِ

    فإنك المسؤول يا حاكمُ

    So judge by what you know; do not falter,

    for you are accountable, O judge.

  3. يحكم عدل الله فيكم كما

    أنت به في خلقه حاكمُ

    God's justice judges among you, just as

    you judge by it among His creatures.

  4. وأنتم أهلٌ لما نلتم

    في ظننا وربُّنا العالم

    And you are worthy of what you have attained,

    in our estimation, and our Lord is the Knower.

  5. وحرّر الميزان يا سيدي

    فإنه العادلُ والقاسمُ

    And set the balance aright, my lord,

    for it is just and apportions.

  6. وقد علمتم أنني ناصحٌ

    ومشفقٌ وما أنا زاعم

    And you know that I am a sincere adviser

    and compassionate, and I am not merely making claims.

  7. فلتعصمْ بحبله إنه

    كما علمت الحافظُ العاصم

    So hold fast to His rope; indeed, He is,

    as you know, the Preserver, the Protector.

  8. واحذر من المكر فقد يختفي

    فإنه القاهر والقاصم

    And beware of the stratagem, for it may be hidden;

    for He is the Subduer and the Shatterer.
