1. Inform Ubayy in his remoteness,
And does it benefit a man what he has known,
١. أَبلِغ أُبَيّاً عَلَى نَأيِهِ
وهَل يَنفَعُ الَمرءَ ما قَد عَلِم
2. That your brother, a close friend,
You were confident in him, he did not remain safe,
٢. بأَنَّ أَخاكَ شَقيقَ الفُؤا
دِ كُنتَ بِه واثِقاً ما سَلِم
3. With a guaranteed king in prison,
Either with truth or oppressed,
٣. لَدَى مَلِكٍ مُوثَقٍ في الَحدي
دِ إمَّا بِحَقٍّ وإماَّ ظُلِم
4. So I do not know you as the habit of tyrants,
Who did not find a deterrent to deter,
٤. فلا أَعِرفَنكَ كَدَأبِ الغُلا
مِ ما لَم يَجِد عارِماً يَعتَرمِ
5. So your land, your land, if you come to us,
We will sleep a night in which there is no dream.
٥. فأَرضَكَ أَرضَكَ إن تَأتِنا
نَنَم لَيلَةً لَيسَ فيها حُلُم
