1. Woe to the mother of the slain, scattered across the land,
Ten from the family of Ujra have betrayed their oath,
١. وَيلُ أُمِّ قَتلى فَوَيقَ القاعِ مِن عُشَرٍ
مِن آلِ عُجرَةَ أَمسى جَدُّهُم هِصرا
2. They were tempted by greed and fooled by false friendship,
The bond of neighborhood was broken, they became traitors,
٢. كانَت أَرِبَّتَهُم بَهزٌ وَغَرَّهُمُ
عَقدُ الجِوارِ وَكانوا مَعشَراً غُدُرا
3. They were wicked people, so the loyal one avoided them,
The land was lost when the rains ceased to fall,
٣. كانوا مَلاوِثَ فَاِحتاجَ الصِدّيقُ لَهُم
فَقدَ البِلادِ إِذا ما تُمِحلُ المَطَرا
4. Never trust the promises of a treacherous man,
When he dresses in the cloak of betrayal and deceit.
٤. لا تَأمَنَنَّ زُبالِيّاً بِذِمَّتِهِ
إِذا تَقَنَّعَ ثَوبَ الغَدرِ وَأتَزَرا
