She, from the clans of Nawfal, lodged in Mecca,
She came down to Mecca from the tribes of Nawfal
And I lodged behind the well, in the farthest dwelling,
And I descended behind the well, far from lodging
حِذَراًout of fear عَلَيهاfor her مِنof مَقالَةِthe slander of كاشِحٍa spiteful foe
حِذَراً عَلَيها مِن مَقالَةِ كاشِحٍ
ذَرِبِsharp اللِسانِthe tongue يَقولُhe says ماwhat لَمdid not تَفعَلِshe does
ذَرِبِ اللِسانِ يَقولُ ما لَم تَفعَلِ
Fearing for her the slander of a spiteful foe,
Wary for her from the talk of a slanderer
Sharp-tongued, who speaks of things she never did.
Of reckless tongue, saying what she did not do
Sol 6.1
