لا لا تُعيِّرَنِ أمرأً فيما أَتَى

لا لا تُعيِّرَنِ أمرأً فيما أَتَى

فلَرُبَّما تَلقَى قصاصاً ما لَقِي

No, no—do not reproach a man for what he has done.

Do not reproach a man for what he did

For you may face a punishment he did not face.

For you may receive revenge for what you have not suffered

هل تَعلَمَنَّ بما يجيءُ بهِ غدٌ

هل تَعلَمَنَّ بما يجيءُ بهِ غدٌ

فبِعلمِ ربّكَ ما استمرَّ وما بَقِي

فبِعلمِ ربّكَ ما استمرَّ وما بَقِي

Do you truly know what tomorrow will bring?

Do you know what tomorrow will bring?

For your Lord knows what has endured and what remains.

By the knowledge of your Lord, nothing lasts or remains

وإذا رأَيتَ سِواكَ جاءَ بهَفوةٍ

وإذا رأَيتَ سِواكَ جاءَ بهَفوةٍ

فلَكَم أَتيتَ بعِظمِ ذَنبٍ مُوبِقِ

فلَكَم أَتيتَ بعِظمِ ذَنبٍ مُوبِقِ

And if you see someone else who has made a slip,

And when you see another's misstep

For many a time you have committed a grave, ruinous sin.

How many grave sins have you yourself committed?

فانظُر سِواكَ بلَحظ طَرفٍ مُطرِقٍ

فانظُر سِواكَ بلَحظ طَرفٍ مُطرِقٍ

وارقُب عُيوبك بالعُيُونِ الحُدَّقِ

وارقُب عُيوبك بالعُيُونِ الحُدَّقِ

So look upon others with the glance of a downcast eye,

So look at others with downcast eyes

And watch your own faults with eyes that gaze intently.

And watch your own flaws with vigilant eyes
