O you who laugh full-mouthed in ignorance,
Weeping is better than your laughter.
وَهَنتَyou have grown weak حِسّاًin perception وَهُنتَand you have become base نَفساًin soul
وَهَنتَ حِسّاً وَهُنتَ نَفساً
فَلاso no ذَكاءَintelligence وَلاand no زَكاءpurity
فَلا ذَكاءَ وَلا زَكاء
You are weak in perception and base in soul,
So you have neither intelligence nor purity.
