وأما الزبيرُ فأكفيكَهُ

وأما الزبيرُ فأكفيكَهُ

وطلحةُ يكفيكَهُ وحوحَه

وطلحةُ يكفيكَهُ وحوحَه

And as for al-Zubayr, I will deal with him for you.

And as for Az-Zubayr, he is enough for you,

And Talha—a wheeze will take care of him for you.

And Talhah is enough for you and his folly,

ويعلى بن منيةَ عن اللقاءِ

ويعلى بن منيةَ عن اللقاءِ

كثيرُ التقلبِ والنحنحه

كثيرُ التقلبِ والنحنحه

And Ya'la ibn Munya, when it comes to combat,

And Yala ibn Umayyah avoids fighting,

Is forever turning away and clearing his throat.

Frequently changing sides and humming.

وعائشُ يكفيننا عقلُها

وعائشُ يكفيننا عقلُها

وعائشُ في الناسِ مستفضحه

وعائشُ في الناسِ مستفضحه

And Aisha—her judgment will surely suffice us.

And Aisha's mind is enough for us,

And Aisha stands disgraced among the people.

And Aisha is disgraced amongst the people.

ولن يُصلِحُ الأمر إلا الحسامُ

ولن يُصلِحُ الأمر إلا الحسامُ

كما يصلُحُ الجُبنُ بالإنفحَه

كما يصلُحُ الجُبنُ بالإنفحَه

And nothing will set matters right but the sharp sword,

And the matter will only be settled by the sword,

Just as cheese is set with rennet.

As cheese is settled with rennet.

ولا يستقيم بغيرِ القتالِ

ولا يستقيم بغيرِ القتالِ

لمن جاءَ بالكنثِ ما أقبحَه

لمن جاءَ بالكنثِ ما أقبحَه

Nor will matters be put right without fighting,

And nothing will be settled except by fighting,

For whoever comes with oath-breaking—how vile it is!

For he who came with lies, how ugly it is!

وأن لا هوادة حتى تكونَ

وأن لا هوادة حتى تكونَ

أمورٌ لنا كُلُّها مصلحَه

أمورٌ لنا كُلُّها مصلحَه

And no leniency until

And there will be no truce until

All our affairs are set right.

All our affairs are advantageous.
