بنو الدُنيا عَلو طَمَعاً وَغَدرا
فَلَستَso you do not تَرىsee بِهمamong them أَحَداًanyone عَفيفاvirtuous
فَلَستَ تَرى بِهم أَحَداً عَفيفا
The sons of this world have risen high in greed and treachery;
The people of this world have high ambitions and are deceitful.
So you see no one among them who is virtuous.
You will not find anyone among them who is virtuous.
كَحيتانlike the whales of البِحارthe seas تَجورthey oppress ظُلماًunjustly
كَحيتان البِحار تَجور ظُلماً
فَيَفتَرسand so devours القويُّthe strong بِهاin them الضَعيفاthe weak
فَيَفتَرس القويُّ بِها الضَعيفا
Like the whales of the seas, they oppress unjustly,
They are like ocean whales that prowl in darkness.
And there the strong devours the weak.
So the strong among them prey upon the weak.
