O’ denizens of Basra Words have been spoken to the people of kufah before you, which I shall repeat to you, and add more O’ people For him who endures an affliction…… I have the cure And upon him who delays its course.. I shall force its completion And he whose conscience burdens his head I will remove the weight of his burden And he whose life has drawn too long I shall shorten what remains of it For as Satan offers naught but comfort to his guest the sultan offers the sword So he who conspires thus in secrecy his punishment comes deservedly And he who is brought forth by his treachery will be raised on his crucifix And he who takes his safety for granted will find his demise intolerable And he whose objection precedes his mouth will have his body preceded by the spill of his blood I will warn, and then offer no more warning … And caution you then accept no apologies And threaten and then offer no forgiveness Verily, what has corrupted you is the weakness of your allegiance And as for me, the determination to decisively respond Has supplanted my voice and replaced it with my sword Verily its hilt is in my hand And its salvation is upon my neck And its edge is upon the neck of he who defies me By god, if even one of you attemps to exit through the preceding door of this mosque Before I approve of his exit through the main gate, I will strike his neck
