Asmaʼ kalaam al-malik
1 Yaatu hakiim ?
Wa yaatu al-yagdar yifassir al-kalaam da ?
Al-hikma tidawwi wijh al-insaan
wa khalaas, yatlig wijhah al-karabah.
2 Kan leyi ana, nuguul :
Asmaʼ kalaam al-malik
fi chaan al-haliife al-inta sawweetha giddaam al-Rabb.
3 Ma tissaʼjal wa taaba sultitah
wa la tagiif didd kalaamah
hatta kan hawaan kula.
Achaan al-malik yisawwi kulla cheyy
al-hu yidoorah.
4 Kan hu yuguul chunu kula,
hu bas al-malik !
Wa kan misil da,
yaatu yagdar yuguul leyah :
«Inta tisawwi chunu ?»
5 Al-yitabbig amur al-malik
ma yichiif minnah ayyi fasaala.
Wa l-hakiim yaʼarif al-wakit al-munaasib
wa kikkeef tukuun al-chariiʼa.
6 Achaan le kulla cheyy fi wakit munaasib
wa fi wakit le l-chariiʼa.
Aywa, fasaalit al-insaan
tabga khatiire leyah hu.
7 Achaan hu ma yaʼarif
al-cheyy al-yukuun.
Wa yaatu yagdar yuguul leyah
yabga misil da walla da ?
8 Ma fi ayyi insaan yagdar yakrub ruuhah
wa la insaan al-indah gudra fi yoom mootah.
Ma fi insaan indah hagg yamrug min al-harib
wa l-fasaala ma yinajji siidha.
9 Wa kulla l-cheyy da, ana chiftah
wakit fakkart fi kulla l-khidme
al-gaaʼide tukuun fi l-ard.
Fi wakit al-foogah al-insaan yamluk fi l-insaan
le yisawwi leyah al-fasaala.
10 Wa misil da, ana chift
al-fasliin dafanoohum fi l-khubuur be charaf.
Wa awwal humman yamchu wa yaju
min al-bakaan al-mukhaddas.
Laakin fi l-madiina di,
al-naas nisoohum.
Wa da kula zaayil saakit.
Ikhaab fi l-amal al-fasil
11 Al-ikhaab ma yinnaffaz ajala
fi l-amal al-fasil.
Wa be da, galb al-insaan fi daakhilah
malaan be niiye hana sawwiyiin al-fasaala.
12 Al-muznib yagdar yisawwi al-amal al-fasil alif marra
wa yiʼiich yitawwil.
Wa laakin be da kula, ana naʼarif
kadar al-insaan al-yakhaaf min al-Rabb
yalga al-kheer
achaan hu khaayif giddaamah.
13 Laakin al-fasil ma yalga kheer
wa ayyaam hayaatah
yufuutu misil al-dull
achaan hu ma khaayif giddaam al-Rabb.
14 Fi l-ard, fiyah cheyy al-zaayil saakit
wa daahu al-cheyy da.
Fi naas saalihiin, yiʼaamuluuhum
misil yiʼaamulu al-fasliin.
Wa fi naas fasliin, yiʼaamuluuhum
misil yiʼaamulu al-saalihiin.
Wa ana gult battaan :
«Da kula zaayil saakit.»
15 Khalli al-naas yiʼiichu be farah
achaan akheer le l-insaan
yalga al-akil wa l-charaab wa l-farah.
Wa da yukuun maʼaayah fi khidimtah
fi kulla ayyaam hayaatah fi l-ard
al-antaaha leyah al-Rabb.
16 Ana chilt niiye le naʼarif al-hikma
wa nichiif al-chakhala
al-gaaʼide tukuun fi l-ard.
Achaan een al-insaan ma tunuum
wa la leel wa la nahaar.
17 Wa ana chift kulla amal al-Rabb.
Wa l-insaan ma yagdar yaʼarif
al-amal al-gaaʼid yukuun fi l-ard.
Wa kan al-insaan yifattichah be taʼab kula,
ma yalgaah.
Hatta kan al-hakiim yuguul yaʼarfah kula,
hu ma yagdar yaʼarif cheyy !
