فَبَهراً لِمَن غَرَّت صَحيفَةُ مُنذِرٍ

فَبَهراً لِمَن غَرَّت صَحيفَةُ مُنذِرٍ

وَإِن كانَ عَقدٌ مِنهُمُ مُتَظاهِرُ

وَإِن كانَ عَقدٌ مِنهُمُ مُتَظاهِرُ

So woe to whoever Mundhir’s letter deceived,

So wonders to whoever was deceived by a warner's scroll,

Even if a band of them supported one another.

Even if a group of them feigns defiance,

لَقَد كانَ فيكُم لَو وَفَيتُم لِجارِكُم

لَقَد كانَ فيكُم لَو وَفَيتُم لِجارِكُم

لِحىً وَرِقابٌ عَردَةٌ وَمَناخِرُ

لِحىً وَرِقابٌ عَردَةٌ وَمَناخِرُ

There would indeed have been among you—had you kept faith with your neighbor—

Indeed, among you - had you been faithful to your neighbor -

Beards, stout necks, and nostrils.

Were beards, obstinate necks, and snouts.
