إِن قيلَ ما أَرَدى الوُحوش كواسراً

إِن قيلَ ما أَرَدى الوُحوش كواسراً

وأَوانساً ممَّا بَرأ الخَلاقُ

وأَوانساً ممَّا بَرأ الخَلاقُ

If asked which beasts are worst—predatory

If it is said what the beasts desire as prey

and tame—among those the Creator has made,

And companions from what the Creator originated

فمِنَ الكواسر ظالمٌ متغطرسٌ

فمِنَ الكواسر ظالمٌ متغطرسٌ

ومن الأَوانسِ خادعٌ مَلَّاقُ

ومن الأَوانسِ خادعٌ مَلَّاقُ

then among the predators is an arrogant oppressor,

Then of the prey is an oppressive tyrant

and among the tame, a deceitful flatterer.

And of the companions a fraudulent impostor
