صَديقُ عَدُوّي داخِلٌ في عَداوَتي

صَديقُ عَدُوّي داخِلٌ في عَداوَتي

وَإِنّي لِمَن وَدَّ الصَديقَ وَدودُ

وَإِنّي لِمَن وَدَّ الصَديقَ وَدودُ

My enemy's friend is subject to my enmity.

My enemy's friend is part of my enmity

The friend of my enemy is part of my enmity,

And I am affectionate toward whoever loves a friend.

Though I'm fond of those fond of a friend

And I am truly loving to him who loves a friend.

فَلا تَقرَبا مِني وَأَنتَ صَديقَهُ

فَلا تَقرَبا مِني وَأَنتَ صَديقَهُ

فَإِنَّ الَّذي بَينَ القُلوبِ بَعيدُ

فَإِنَّ الَّذي بَينَ القُلوبِ بَعيدُ

So do not approach me while you are his friend,

So don't come near whilst his friend you remain

So do not approach me while you remain his friend,

For the distance between our hearts is great.

For hearts' secrets are far, not near, nor can mend

For the distance between our hearts is vast.
