كُلُّ اِبنِ أُختٍ زائِدٌ أَهلَ أُمِّه

كُلُّ اِبنِ أُختٍ زائِدٌ أَهلَ أُمِّه

وَأَنتَ اِبنَ أُختي ناقِصٌ غَيرَ زائِدِ

وَأَنتَ اِبنَ أُختي ناقِصٌ غَيرَ زائِدِ

Every sister’s son is a gain to his mother’s people;

Every sister's son exceeds the people of his mother,

But you, my sister’s son, are a loss, not a gain.

Yet you, my sister's son, lack and do not exceed.

فَوائِل إِلى المَنجاةِ مِن مُتَحَفِّرٍ

فَوائِل إِلى المَنجاةِ مِن مُتَحَفِّرٍ

تَعَمَّدَ مَجزاهُ مُضِرَّ العَوانِدِ

تَعَمَّدَ مَجزاهُ مُضِرَّ العَوانِدِ

So flee to safety from one lying in wait,

So flee for refuge from the undermining ones

Who deliberately seeks his recompense, a scourge to the wayward.

Who are set on requiting the refractory harmdoers.
