1. Deliver unto the reverend Sheikh this message from me,
A precise account of the matter, fully informed.

2. And ask that tomorrow morn, as his head nods
In the circle of his remembrance, and he turns his throat,

3. May God still his hands' applause for me and check
His singing of blasphemy, naming unbelief as praise.

4. What guardianship was ever attained through ignorance?
Who ever gained reward by denial?

5. If you say you strove with all your knowledge,
Then explain to me, if you met Omar,

6. And this deed does not suffice you until
You lied about the Prophet and came as a stranger.

7. When did the weak clans of Quraish become
Noble lines? List for us their lineage, front and back.

8. If supremacy lies in greens' flourishing,
Then vegetables are nobler than you in merit.

9. You say Al-Aidarous was able to revive
With his breath one long dead for ages.

10. Did you set up a partner for the Creator,
To rule without Him, benefiting or harming?

11. Woe unto you! You blasphemed and knew not.
You persisted upon this and would not turn back.

12. Woe unto you! Worship is not beating a drum
Nor glory found in the length of this beard.

13. Seeing you, people think goodness,
Though had you hanged, they'd have thought evil.

14. Answer what I have asked and soothe my chest,
Although I knew you before the bull was agitated.
