وَذَوِي ضِبابٍ مُظهِرينَ عَداوَةً

وَذَوِي ضِبابٍ مُظهِرينَ عَداوَةً

تَملا القُلوب مُحالِفي الإِفنادِ

تَملا القُلوب مُحالِفي الإِفنادِ

And those harboring rancor, openly displaying enmity

And those showing enmity through misty airs

That fills the hearts—sworn allies of falsehood—

Fill hearts, sworn to animosity

ناسَيتُهُم بَغضاءَهُم وَتَرَكتُهُم

ناسَيتُهُم بَغضاءَهُم وَتَرَكتُهُم

وَهُم إِذا ذُكِرَ الصَديقُ أَعادي

وَهُم إِذا ذُكِرَ الصَديقُ أَعادي

I feigned forgetting their hatred and left them be,

I forgot their hatred and left them

Though, when a friend is mentioned, they are foes,

And when a friend was mentioned they showed enmity

كَيما أَعَدَّهُم لِأَبعَدَ مِنهُم

كَيما أَعَدَّهُم لِأَبعَدَ مِنهُم

وَلَقَد يُجاءُ إِلى ذَوي الأَحقادِ

وَلَقَد يُجاءُ إِلى ذَوي الأَحقادِ

So I might hold them in reserve against those more distant than they;

So I would prepare for the farthest from them

And indeed, one may turn to those who harbor grudges.

And indeed we come to those of resentments
