1. يا مَن يَحيدُ عَنِ التُقى وَيَروغُ

    وَيُرَندَجُ العِصيانَ حينَ يَصوغُ

    O you who turn aside from piety and dodge,

    and blacken disobedience as you fashion it,

  2. حَتّى مَتى تَختالُ في الغَيِّ الَّذي

    هُوَ بِالفَسادِ مُضَمَّخٌ مَصبوغُ

    how long will you swagger in the waywardness that

    is smeared and dyed with corruption,

  3. وَتَمُجُّ مِن ماءِ المَجانَةِ مِثلَ ما

    يَحلو لِذائِقِ طَعمِهِ وَيَسوغُ

    and spew from the water of wantonness the like of what

    tastes sweet to whoever samples it and goes down easily?

  4. بادِر بِدِرياقِ الصَلاحِ وَلا تَكُن

    مِمَّن يَموتُ وَدينُهُ مَلدوغُ

    Hasten with the antidote of righteousness, and do not be

    among those who die with their faith stung.
