ظَلَلتَ مُفترِش الهَلباء تَشتُمني

ظَلَلتَ مُفترِش الهَلباء تَشتُمني

عِندَ الرَسولِ فَلَم تَصدُق وَلَم تُصِبِ

عِندَ الرَسولِ فَلَم تَصدُق وَلَم تُصِبِ

You remained seated on your hairy backside, reviling me

You slandered me, sprawled on the ground,

before the Messenger, but you neither spoke truth nor hit the mark.

In the presence of the Messenger, but you were not truthful nor correct.

إِن تُبغُضونا فَإِنَّ الرومَ أَصلُكُمُ

إِن تُبغُضونا فَإِنَّ الرومَ أَصلُكُمُ

وَالرومُ لا تَملُكُ البَغضاءَ لِلعَرَبِ

وَالرومُ لا تَملُكُ البَغضاءَ لِلعَرَبِ

If you hate us, the Romans are indeed your stock,

If you hate us, the Romans are your origins,

and the Romans cannot restrain their hatred of the Arabs.

And the Romans cannot harbor hatred for the Arabs.

فَإِن سُؤدُدَنا عَودُ وَسُؤدُدَكُم

فَإِن سُؤدُدَنا عَودُ وَسُؤدُدَكُم

مُؤَخَرٌ عِندَ أَصلِ العَجبِ وَالذَنَبِ

مُؤَخَرٌ عِندَ أَصلِ العَجبِ وَالذَنَبِ

For our nobility is ancient, and yours

For our roots are sound but your roots

lies at the rear, at the base of the tailbone and tail.

Are deferred, at the origin of wonder and sin.
