1. Their morals and deeds in turmoil
A wedding whose beauty and brides are complete
١. في فِتنَةٍ أَخلاقُهُم وَفِعالُهُم
عِرسٌ تَكامَلَ حُسنُها وَعَرائِسُ
2. Joy has granted them its gifts in a gathering
For glory and nobility, it has receptions
٢. حَلَّ السُرورُ حُباهُمُ في مَجلِسٍ
لِلمَجدِ وَالعَلياءِ فيهِ مَجالِسِ
3. So whenever they look at a friend like stars
Blossoms, and whenever they look at a foe like hawks
٣. فَهُمُ إِذا نَظَروا الصَديقَ كَواكِبٌ
زُهرٌ وَإِن نَظَروا العَدُوَّ حَنادِسُ
4. Or it's said war horses twist around the likes of them
They are stallions and the enemies are mares
٤. أَو قيلَ تَلتَفُّ الجِيادُ بِمِثلِها
فَهُمُ ضَراغِمُ وَالعُداةُ فَرائِسُ
5. So the night because of them is bright and the dawn from
Them is crushing and time because of them is guarding
٥. فَاللَيلُ مِنهُم شامِسٌ وَالصُبحُ مِن
هُم دامِسٌ وَالدَهرُ مِنهُم وارِسُ
