1. يا مَن تَديَّن وهوَ في

    مَحضِ الحقيقةِ كافِر

    O you who have embraced religion, though in

    plain truth you are an unbeliever;

  2. ولِمَوطئٍ من حافِرٍ

    بِه قد تسرَّعَ حَافِر

    and toward the imprint of a hoof,

    a hoof has hurried you.

  3. في نُور عَقلِك إِن تَسِر

    لا شكَّ أنّكَ ظَافِر

    If you walk in the light of your reason,

    no doubt you will prevail.

  4. وإذا تضِلُ عنِ الهُدَى

    فاللهُ ربُّك غَافِر

    And if you stray from right guidance,

    then God, your Lord, is forgiving.
