1. By your life! I do not satirize all of humankind,
Rather I satirize only the vile among the sons of Omar.

2. Evil-speakers to the sons of their paternal uncles,
Who refrain from eating meat and dates.

3. Who divide the waters of opinion into sorceries
That come to you before dawn, their oppression flowing,

4. They dam the lion's mouths of waters with slender waists,
Their dark, wide sleeves are like water wheels.
