1. O say to the Chief of the Tribe altogether,
The possessors of tents and lions of the den,

2. Indeed, your master has slipped
With a slip that pleases the eyes of gloaters.

3. His scribe chose an infidel,
Although if he wished he could have chosen from the Muslims.

4. So the Jews gained power through him, and chose
Their own and became of the most vile.

5. And they got their purpose and crossed the line,
So ruin is imminent though they are not aware.

6. How many virtuous, devout Muslims
For the vilest ape of the polytheists!

7. This was not due to their effort,
But from us the helper arises.

8. Why didn’t he emulate the predecessors
Among the virtuous, God-fearing leaders?

9. And place them where they deserve,
And return them to the lowest of the low.

10. They hovered around us to humiliate them -
Upon them are disgrace, humiliation and disdain.

11. And they yearned for colorful rags
For the garments of the base.

12. Nor did they scorn our flags
Nor tyrannize the righteous.

13. Nor did they sit with them while they were defiant
Nor accompany them along with the relatives.

14. Abidis, you are a wise man,
Your guess hits the mark of certainty.

15. So how did their chiefs escape you
While generations are struck down on earth?

16. And how can you love the chicks of fornication
When they hate you among both worlds?

17. And how can ascent be fulfilled for you
When you build and they demolish?

18. And how can you rely on a sinner
And match him when he is despicable?

19. God has revealed in His revelation
Warning against the company of sinners.

20. So do not take any of them as a servant
And leave them to the curse of the cursers.

21. For the earth is deafened by their corruption
And almost swayed with all of us.

22. Observe its regions with your eyes
You find them like dogs, disgraced in it.

23. And how can you single out their proximity
When they are exiled in the lands?

24. When you are the chosen King,
Descendant of kings, of the glorious.

25. And you have precedence among mankind
As you are of the foremost.

26. I occupied Granada,
I saw them being reckless in it.

27. They divided it and its dependencies -
In every place are eyes from them.

28. They collect its taxes,
Gobbling and gnawing.

29. They wear elegant clothes,
While you wear the lowest.

30. They are privy to your secrets -
How can a traitor be trusted?

31. And others eat a dirham,
Then are expelled, while they feast.

32. They confronted you to your Lord,
Yet you do not forbid nor deny.

33. They have clothed you in their magic,
So you do not hear nor see.

34. And they slaughter in its markets,
While you are eating its scraps.

35. Their ape widened his house,
And drew to it the pansy eyes.

36. So our needs became through him,
While we stand at his door.

37. He ridicules us and our religion -
To our Lord we shall return.

38. If you said his money was yours,
You would be of the truthful.

39. So hurry to slaughter him as an offering,
And sacrifice him, for he is a fat lamb.

40. Do not lift the pressure off his ilk,
For they hoard every precious possession.

41. Disperse their company and take their money,
For you have the greatest right to what they gather.

42. Do not think killing them is betrayal,
Rather betrayal is leaving them to wreak havoc.

43. They broke their covenant with us,
So why would you be blamed for the breakers?

44. And how can they have a pact
When we are submissive and they dominant?

45. We are the humiliated among them,
As if we did wrong and they did good!

46. So do not accept their actions regarding us,
For you are hostage to what they do.

47. And watch your God regarding His party,
For the party of God - they are the victorious!
