1. A man of great ambition wished for my praise
And spoke to me from the reins of leadership

2. So I said, perhaps Abu Dar’a has called me
To seat me upon the throne of high command

3. And with wishes he reached twenty thousand
Selling his honor for destruction

4. A man from the elite of Qais who presented himself
To their clubs though unfit to enter

5. He centered himself in Abadah when he stayed
At the essence of honor and fine pedigree

6. I repel from greed one who saw
The target of rope and net

7. Prophecy of days crumbles through him
As musk is crushed at the mortar

8. When the veil lifts and he teaches
The gazelle’s light dims and that is him
