With an enemy of hatred and kinship

ومشاحن ذي بغضة وقرابة

1. With an enemy of hatred and kinship
Who unleashes scorpion stings upon his own

١. وَمُشاحِنٍ ذي بِغضَةٍ وَقَرابَةٍ
يُزجي لِأَقرَبِهِ عَقارِبَ لُسَّعا

2. He strives to demolish what I have built
While I construct what he has ruined

٢. يَسعى لِيَهدِمَ ما بَنَيتُ وَإِنَّني
لَمُشَيِّدٌ بُنيانَهُ المُتَضَعضِعا

3. When I rejoice, my joy irks him
He sees my delight as needing a beating

٣. وَإِذا سُرِرتُ يَسوءُهُ ما سَرَّني
وَيَرى المَسَرَّةَ مَروَتي أَن تُقرَعا

4. If I stumble, he says I am gloating
I say, seeing him stumble, let him flounder

٤. وَإِذا عَثَرتُ يَقولُ إِنّي شامِتٌ
وَأَقولُ حينَ أَراهُ يَعثُرَ دَعدَعا
