1. O Abu al-Qasim, have you seen
Anyone as ugly as you
١. يا أَبا القاسِمَ هَل أَبصَرتَ
شِبهاً لَكَ في قُبحِك
2. Or as wicked as you
Or as stingy as you?
٢. وَنَظيراً لَكَ في شُؤ
مِكَ أَو لُؤمِكَ أَو شُحِّك
3. Whoever compares you to a dog
Surely flatters you
٣. إِنَّ مَن شَبَّهَكَ الكَلبَ
فَقَد بالَغَ في مَدحِك
