painful to be aware with verily Allah looking sharply

كلا لن لم ينته لنسفعا بالناصية

Kalla la-in lam yantahi lanasfaAAan bialnnasiyati

making safe is not when not bringing news, will not beat with the forgetting

ناصية كذبة خاطة

Nasiyatin kathibatin khati-atin

forgetting is lying, is wrong

SanadAAu alzzabaniyata

overpowering the deceivers

كلا لا تطعه واسجد واقترب

Kalla la tutiAAhu(*) waosjud waiqtarib

making safe was not to be tasted (by you) and had to be nauseous and had to scant

* it is probably meant to say: طعم (tutiAAmu) instead. Copy error made in the past. tutiAAhu does not exist, with a miim it does and it fits perfectly.
