سُقتُم كِنانَةَ جَهلاً مِن عَداوَتِكُم

سُقتُم كِنانَةَ جَهلاً مِن عَداوَتِكُم

إِلى الرَسولِ فَجُندُ اللَهِ مُخزيها

إِلى الرَسولِ فَجُندُ اللَهِ مُخزيها

You drove Kinana in ignorance, out of your enmity,

You have ignorantly led Kinana to enmity against the Messenger

toward the Messenger; God's army will disgrace her.

So the army of Allah will disgrace her

أَورَدتُموها حِياضَ المَوتِ ضاحِيَةً

أَورَدتُموها حِياضَ المَوتِ ضاحِيَةً

فَالنارُ مَوعِدُها وَالقَتلُ لاقيها

فَالنارُ مَوعِدُها وَالقَتلُ لاقيها

You brought her, out in the open, to the pools of death;

You have brought her to the meadows of death joyfully blooming

so the Fire is her appointed destination, and slaughter will meet her.

So the Fire is her fate and slaughter will meet her

أَنتُم أَحابيشُ جُمِّعتُم بِلا نَسَبٍ

أَنتُم أَحابيشُ جُمِّعتُم بِلا نَسَبٍ

أَإِمَّةُ الكُفرِ غَرَّتكُم طَواغيها

أَإِمَّةُ الكُفرِ غَرَّتكُم طَواغيها

You are Ahabish, gathered with no common lineage,

You are rabble gathered without lineage

leaders of unbelief—her idols have deceived you.

Has the nation of disbelief deluded you with its sorceries?

هَلّا اِعتَبَرتُم بِخَيلِ اللَهِ إِذ لَقِيَت

هَلّا اِعتَبَرتُم بِخَيلِ اللَهِ إِذ لَقِيَت

أَهلَ القَليبِ وَمَن أَردَينَهُ فيها

أَهلَ القَليبِ وَمَن أَردَينَهُ فيها

Why did you not take warning from God's cavalry when they met

Why have you not considered the horses of Allah when they met

the people of the well, and those they slew within it?

The people of Qalib and those he brought against them?

كَم مِن أَسيرٍ فَكَكناهُ بِلا ثَمَنٍ

كَم مِن أَسيرٍ فَكَكناهُ بِلا ثَمَنٍ

وَجَزِّ ناصِيَةٍ كُنّا مَواليها

وَجَزِّ ناصِيَةٍ كُنّا مَواليها

How many a captive we freed without ransom,

How many captives have we freed without ransom

and how many a forelock we clipped, whose masters we were.

And cut the napes of those we used to protect?
