O clan of Quraysh, mend relations between us
O Quraysh, make peace between us,
and you; the rope of contention has grown long.
For long has the rope of dissension lasted between us.

There is no good in you without us, so be gentle with us;
There is no good in you after us, so treat us leniently,
Nor is there good in us without Fihr ibn Malik.
And no good in us after, so search for Ibn Malik.

Both of us are a long-reaching hand against our enemies,
Both of us are hands long in striking enemies,
When a day comes in which withers are hewn off.
When the day comes for charging cavalry.
فلاso do not تذكرواrecall ماwhat كانhappened منَّاfrom us ومنكُمُand from you
فلا تذكروا ما كان منَّا ومنكُمُ
ففيfor in ذكرِrecalling ماwhat قدalready كانَhappened مشيُthe gait of التساؤُكِtottering
ففي ذكرِ ما قد كانَ مشيُ التساؤُكِ
So do not recall what was done by us and by you;
So mention not what was between us and you,
For in recalling what has passed lies a tottering gait.
For in recalling what is past comes mutual reviling.
