أَلاَ ابْلِغْ قُرَيْشاً على نَآيِهَا

أَلاَ ابْلِغْ قُرَيْشاً على نَآيِهَا

اتفخَرُ مِنَّا بما لَمْ تَلِي

اتفخَرُ مِنَّا بما لَمْ تَلِي

Hear this: tell Quraysh, though far away:

Deliver to Quraysh the tidings of their fate,

Do you boast over us of what you had no hand in?

Of which they proudly boast without cause.

فَخَرْتُمْ بِقَتْلَى أَصَابَتْهُمُ

فَخَرْتُمْ بِقَتْلَى أَصَابَتْهُمُ

فَوَاضِلُ مِنْ نِعَمِ المُفضِلِ

فَوَاضِلُ مِنْ نِعَمِ المُفضِلِ

You boasted over slain men who received

You have fallen by the death of those

Abundant blessings from the Bestower.

Whom arrows of destiny did pierce.

فحَلُّوا جِنَاناً وأبقُوا لَكُمْ

فحَلُّوا جِنَاناً وأبقُوا لَكُمْ

أُسُوداً تُحَامي عَنِ الأشْبُلِ

أُسُوداً تُحَامي عَنِ الأشْبُلِ

So they settled in gardens and left for you

So they left you ample plains and fled,

Lions that defend the cubs.

Leaving behind young lions that defend their cubs,

تُقَاتِلُ عَنْ دِينِهَا وَسْطَهَا

تُقَاتِلُ عَنْ دِينِهَا وَسْطَهَا

نَبِيٌّ عَنِ الحقِّ لَمْ يَنكُلِ

نَبِيٌّ عَنِ الحقِّ لَمْ يَنكُلِ

They fight for their faith; in their midst

Battling for their faith in the midst of the fray,

Is a prophet who did not draw back from the truth.

A prophet who never wavered from the right path.

رَمَتْهُ مَعَدٌّ بِعَوْرِ الكَلاَمِ

رَمَتْهُ مَعَدٌّ بِعَوْرِ الكَلاَمِ

ونَبْلِ العَدَاوَةِ لا تَأْثَلي

ونَبْلِ العَدَاوَةِ لا تَأْثَلي

Maʿadd pelted him with vile speech

Wounded by the arrow of calumny,

And arrows of enmity—may you not prosper!

By the venom of enmity that knows no surcease.
