قَوْمٌ تَرَى واحِدَهُمْ صِهْمِيما

قَوْمٌ تَرَى واحِدَهُمْ صِهْمِيما

لِلنَّاسِ في نادِيهِمِ غَشُوها

لِلنَّاسِ في نادِيهِمِ غَشُوها

A people—you see each one of them harsh and unyielding,

A people whose sole member in their club

Toward people in their assembly, [apparently: oppressive],

Appears most genial to all around

لا رَاحِمَ الناسِ ولا مَرْحُوما

لا رَاحِمَ الناسِ ولا مَرْحُوما

Neither showing people mercy nor shown mercy.

Yet has no pity for others nor is pitied
