1. Tell Rabee'ah and Ibn Ummuhu Nowfal
That I bear a grudge if I do not pardon.

2. I am like a hungry wolf in the rugged land
Who bleats at the goats in the barren valley.

3. His female has miscarried and a night has widowed him,
So he is wrathful if he is not vicious.

4. Deem him to be singing when you have provoked him,
So leave the open country for your narrow pass and give room.

5. Truly treachery, sinfulness, and baseness.
Have become desolate in the stony tracts.

6. A people, if an evildoer addresses them,
Evil is followed and the good deed of the reformer is lost.

7. Everyone slick withdrew at the stone(-throwing)
Except the barking of the fools in altercation.

8. You censured Hamzah hoping he would show forbearance
While your family suffices you like jointed puppets.

9. Evil is that for which you fought us the day you met us -
A blind man tottering in barren heat that cannot be rectified.

10. When a slave commits enormities, his people
Are ruffled hair in winter's violent cold.
