Awwal kalaam Bildad
1 Wa Bildad al-min Chuuha chaal al-kalaam wa gaal :
2 Lahaddi mata
tuguul al-kalaam da ?
Wa lahaddi mata
kalaam khachmak yamrug
misil riih chadiide ?
Al-Gaadir ma yiʼawwij al-chariiʼa
3 Hal al-Rabb yiʼawwij al-chariiʼa walla ?
Aywa, al-Rabb al-Gaadir yiʼawwij al-adaala walla ?
4 Achaan awlaadak aznabo
wa hu aakhabhum hasab isyaanhum.
5 Wa laakin kan tifattich al-Rabb
wa kan tachhad al-Rabb al-Gaadir
6 wa kan inta saafi wa adiil,
khalaas hu yifakkir foogak
wa yisabbitak fi adaaltak.
7 Wa tichiif al-indak fi l-bidaaya
chiyya bas !
Akiid, fi mustakhbalak talga
ziyaada minnah !
Wasiiyat al-juduud
8 Asʼal al-zurriiyaat al-faato
wa ahfad adiil tajribat juduudhum.
9 Achaan aniina naas hana amis bas,
ma naʼarfu cheyy.
Wa ayyaamna fi l-ard
yufuutu ajala misil al-dull.
10 Laakin al-juduud dool yiʼallumuuk
wa yikallumu leek.
Wa min daakhal galibhum
yamrug kalaam al-buguul :
11 «Hal al-birdi yugumm barra
min al-rahad walla ?
Al-tibin yagdar yiziid
bala almi walla ?
12 La ! Kan akhdar kula gubbaal ma yagtaʼooh,
bala almi hu yaybas ajala min kulla l-gechch.»
13 Wa yukuun misil da,
le kulla l-yanso derib al-Rabb.
Aywa, acham al-kaafir yingatiʼ.
14 Hu khatta achamah
fi cheyy ma madmuun
wa amman nafsah le cheyy khafiif
misil beet abunchabach.
15 Hu yirrakkaz fi beetah
wa l-beet da yagaʼ.
Hu yilʼallag foogah
wa laakin al-beet ma yasbit.
16 Al-kaafir akhdar misil chadara
tihit al-harraay.
Hi maddat furuuʼha
wa khattat beehum al-jineene.
17 Wa uruugha yichcharbako fi koom al-hashas
wa yuchuggu al-hujaar.
18 Wa laakin kan yimallutuuhum
min bakaanhum,
al-bakaan da yikhaalit wa yuguul :
«Ana ma chiftah.»
19 Daahu farhitah fi hayaatah.
Wa min al-turaab da,
yugumm nabaat aakhar.
20 Chiif ! Al-Rabb ma yakrah al-naadum al-adiil
wa ma yichajjiʼ al-naas al-fasliin.
21 Gariib, hu yamla galbak be l-dihik
wa halguumak be l-ragraag.
22 Al-yakrahook al-eeb yikhattiihum,
Wa khiyam al-aasiyiin yabgo ma fiihum.
