They claimed, O Khuluf, that you are a worthless man—a 'khalf'.
They claimed, O faithless one, that you are faithless,
They spoke truly: in you are thousands of worthless men.
They were right about you, among thousands of faithless ones.

جمعُ خلفٍ بلا خِلافٍ خُلُوفُ
And so they called you by a plural, though you are one man.
And so they called you, in the plural, singular,
The plural of 'khalf', without dispute, is 'khuluf'.
A group of faithless ones, undoubtedly faithless.
