وَبَصِيْرَتِكَ فِيْ الْأُمُورِ
wabaṣīratika fil umūr
And your insight in affairs
388
أَمَّرَكَ فِيْ الْمَوَاطِنِ

389
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ أَمِيرٌ
walam yakun `alayka amīr
And no one was ever made commander over you
390
وَكَمْ مِنْ أَمْرٍ صَدَّكَ عَنْ إِمْضَاءِ عَزْمِكَ فِيْهِ التُّقَىٰ
wakam min amrin ṣaddaka `an imḍā-i `azmika fīhit tuqā

391
وَاتَّبَعَ غَيْرُكَ فِيْ مِثْلِهِ الْهَوَىٰ
wattaba`a ghayruka fī mithlihil hawā

393
ضَلَّ وَاللَّهِ الظَّانُّ لِذٰلِكَ وَمَا اهْتَدَىٰ
ḍalla wallāhiẓ ẓānnu lidhālika wamahtadā
By Allah, such a thinker has gone astray and is not guided

walaqad awḍaḥta mā ashkala min dhālika liman tawahhama wamtarā
And you have made clear what was confusing about that to whoever was suspicious or doubted
395
بِقَوْلِكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ
biqawlika ṣallallāhu `alayk
By your saying, may Allah's blessings be upon you:

But there is a barrier of God-consciousness before it
398
فَيَدَعُهَا رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ
fayada`uhā ra-yal `ayn
So he abandons it knowingly

400
صَدَقْتَ وَاللَّهِ وَخَسِرَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ
ṣadaqta wallāhi wakhasiral mubṭilūn
You spoke the truth, by Allah, and the falsifiers are losers
401
وَإِذْ مَاكَرَكَ النَّاكِثَانِ

But you want treachery"
405
فَأَخَذْتَ الْبَيْعَةَ عَلَيْهِمَا

So you took their pledge of allegiance
406
وَجَدَّدْتَ الْمِيثَاقَ
wajaddadtal mīthāq
And renewed the covenant
407
فَجَدَّا فِيْ النِّفَاقِ
fajaddā fin nifāq
But they persisted in hypocrisy
408
فَلَمَّا نَبَّهْتَهُمَا عَلَى فِعْلِهِمَا أَغْفَلَا وَعَادَا وَمَا انْتَفَعَا
falammā nabbahtahumā `alā fi`lihimā aghfalā wa`ādā wamantafa`ā
And when you made them aware of their actions, they ignored and returned and did not benefit
409
وَكَانَ عَاقِبَةُ أَمْرِهِمَا خُسْرًا
wakāna `āqibatu amrihimā khusrā
And the end of their affair was loss
410
ثُمَّ تَلاَهُمَا أَهْلُ الشَّامِ

Then the people of Syria followed them
411
فَسِرْتَ إِلَيْهِمْ بَعْدَ الْاِعْذَارِ

falaka sābiqatul jihādi `alā taṣdīqit tanzīl

walaka faḍīlatul jihādi `alā taḥqīqit ta-wīl
And you have the excellence of striving to verify the interpretation
427
وَعَدُوُّكَ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ جَاحِدٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ
wa`aduwwuka `aduwwullāhi jāḥidun lirasūlillāh

ar rawāḥar rawāḥa ilal jannah
"Paradise! Paradise! To Paradise!"
432
وَلَمَّا اسْتَسْقَىٰ فَسُقِيَ اللَّبَنَ كَبَّرَ وَقَالَ
walammastasqā fasuqiyal labana kabbara waqāl
And when he asked for a drink and was given milk, he said Allahu Akbar and said:
433

wattubi`aẓ ẓann
