1. O goat of marbles, you have brought shame
You have been deceived and you have been insulted

2. You almost deprived us, for you have been castrated
You used to be lucky, but now you are erased

3. Woe to you, you did not know with whom you have prayed
Nor against which rock you have cast

4. If you see more absurdities
Riding cheek to cheek, you flee

5. Fly with your wings, for you have come
To Harrān, Harrān, so flee, flee

6. And to Mosul, Mosul or Tikrit
Where the Nabateans sell houses

7. And eat the bitter lentils
