تَوارَ بِجِنحِ الظَلا

تَوارَ بِجِنحِ الظَلا

مِ قَد ظَلَمَ العالَمُ

مِ قَد ظَلَمَ العالَمُ

Hide under cover of darkness;

The shadows fold their wings

the world has indeed been unjust.

As the world grows dark.

أَولاكَ قُرونُ الصَلا

أَولاكَ قُرونُ الصَلا

لِ إِن يُؤذِنوا آلَموا

لِ إِن يُؤذِنوا آلَموا

Those are the peers of vipers:

First they perform their prayers,

if they give warning, they inflict pain.

Then, whether they mean good or ill, they wound,

هِلالٌ إِذا حارَبوا

هِلالٌ إِذا حارَبوا

وَنَقدٌ إِذا سالَموا

وَنَقدٌ إِذا سالَموا

Serpents when they wage war,

A crescent when they war,

and small sheep when they make peace.

Silver when they make peace.
