1. O Darwish, you of despicable character
Evil has befallen your father, O father of commotion

2. O shrine of the wicked, no, O most wicked of the wicked
No, O most ignorant of the ignorant

3. O evil-mannered, no, O most debauched of the debauched
No, O most cowardly of cowards

4. O source of corruption, no, O refuge of rogues
No, O wreckage of the wilderness

5. O ladder of the foolish, no, O oppression of the oppressors
No, O heaviest burden

6. O most filthy in morals among people
O ulcer in the heart and intestines

7. O greatest of those who mislead in their tales
And most despicable of those who walk on dust

8. You accused servant of God, descendant of Muhammad
The judge of mankind, with the ugly accusation

9. Far it is! Son of Mahmoud the guardian, the chosen
The people of loyalty, the source of favors

10. Woe and disgrace be upon you, offspring of Mushammal
You have prided yourself when I called upon you

11. You did not deserve my reproach
And I regret that I wasted my reproach on you

12. Of wonders that you who are dead
Are counted among the living in the world

13. Describing your flaws has narrowed, as I see
Nothing in you among things

14. You are torn apart more than anything torn
O guest of the time, day of expensive living

15. Do you fault one whose shoe laces you cannot equal
And insult him, O most wretched of fools

16. Your hands are paralyzed, your mouth gagged, your hands separated
O brother of calamity and misery

17. I see you, O blind to guidance
Deviating in a dark bog

18. I see you preventing light in our horizons
And the horses of ignorance galloping in the darkness

19. If Adam had known you would come from his loins
He would have avoided Eve and rebelled against her

20. If the dust were to avoid you, you would melt
At the bottom of the abyss, deformed

21. Take them chained, its waves crashing
With blame like the crashing of insects

22. It comes to you rushing with poisons, swift
In race like the dappled viper

23. It will clothe you on Judgment Day in a garment of disgrace
Until you come in a black coffin

24. If you do not repent, upon you is our God's curse
Everlasting, O father of obscenities
