1. Whenever Ibn al-Khaymi speaks to me
I say "This is not a speech, but idle talk!"

2. Wearisome chanting - his words are rubbish;
Lacklustre verse that seems womanish.

3. His mouth is like a stomach: nothing wholesome
Passes through it but is rendered vicious.

4. Don't act smart, Waik - I'm wise
To you, monkey, both new and old!
