The earth belongs to God; those lodging on it felt no shame
The land belongs to Allah, how shameful that guests would claim it
In claiming it, though they are guests in the house.
And call it theirs, though in the house they're but newcomers.

They disputed over borrowed things; so among them
They fight over ruins, and between them lie
Are shattered arrows, spears, and swords.
Broken arrows, spears, and swords unsheathed.

If they disagree with you and their disagreement brings no
If they oppose you, and their dissent brings not
Harm, there is no harm in people being different.
Evil, no matter, for people will dissent.
