بنو الدُنيا عَلو طَمَعاً وَغَدرا

فَلَستَ تَرى بِهم أَحَداً عَفيفا

The people of this world have high ambitions and are deceitful.

You will not find anyone among them who is virtuous.

كَحيتان البِحار تَجور ظُلماً

فَيَفتَرس القويُّ بِها الضَعيفا

They are like ocean whales that prowl in darkness.

So the strong among them prey upon the weak.
