أَلاَ ابْلِغْ قُرَيْشاً على نَآيِهَا

اتفخَرُ مِنَّا بما لَمْ تَلِي

Deliver to Quraysh the tidings of their fate,

Of which they proudly boast without cause.

فَخَرْتُمْ بِقَتْلَى أَصَابَتْهُمُ

فَوَاضِلُ مِنْ نِعَمِ المُفضِلِ

You have fallen by the death of those

Whom arrows of destiny did pierce.

فحَلُّوا جِنَاناً وأبقُوا لَكُمْ

أُسُوداً تُحَامي عَنِ الأشْبُلِ

So they left you ample plains and fled,

Leaving behind young lions that defend their cubs,

تُقَاتِلُ عَنْ دِينِهَا وَسْطَهَا

نَبِيٌّ عَنِ الحقِّ لَمْ يَنكُلِ

Battling for their faith in the midst of the fray,

A prophet who never wavered from the right path.

رَمَتْهُ مَعَدٌّ بِعَوْرِ الكَلاَمِ

ونَبْلِ العَدَاوَةِ لا تَأْثَلي

Wounded by the arrow of calumny,

By the venom of enmity that knows no surcease.
