1. أرِبَت مودَّتُكم على الأيّامِ

    فَتَرَ الإخاءُ لفترة الإسلامِ

    Your affection has deteriorated with the passing days.

    Brotherhood has waned with the waning of Islam.

  2. وإذا أضاع الناسُ ذِمَّةَ دينهم

    لم يحفظوا بمودةٍ وذِمامِ

    And when people squander the covenant of their faith,

    they will not be safeguarded by affection or covenant.

  3. لو أنها دارُ المقام لَعُدِّلَت

    لكنها خُلِقت لغير مقامِ

    Were it a permanent abode, it would have been made just;

    but it was created for no lasting stay.
