How excessive is this boastfulness beyond proper bounds

كم ذا التبظرم زائدا عن حده

1. How excessive is this boastfulness beyond proper bounds
Never before were the humps like this

١. كَم ذا التَّبَظرُمُ زائِداً عَن حَدِّهِ
ما كانَ قَبلكَ هَكَذا الحُدبانُ

2. Take care, O mother of a king, you are the owner of his affair
Who are you, O this one, and what is fantasy?

٢. فَحِرِ امّ مُلكٍ أَنتَ مالِكُ أَمرِهِ
مَن أَنتَ يا هذا وَما بيسانُ

3. You have shown excessive piety and excessive chastity
And Allah knows it is lies

٣. أَظهَرتَ فَضلَ تُقىً وَفَضلَ تَعَفُّفٍ
وَاللَهُ يَعلَمُ أَنَّهُ بُهتانُ

4. Not long does the beast prostrate in the night
Except for the black ones to bow over it

٤. ما طالَ في اللَيلِ البَهيمِ سُجودُهُ
إِلّا لِيَركَعَ فَوقَهُ السودانُ

5. So if you hear, you hear an abhorrent thing
And if you see, you see no human

٥. فَإِذا سَمِعتَ سَمِعتَ أَمراً مُنكَراً
وَإِذا رَأَيتَ رَأَيتَ لا إِنسانُ
