1. Your love for the elders shows me
That all goodness has been overturned in your heart
١. تَعَشُّقُكَ الكِبارَ يَدُلُّ عِندي
عَلى أَنَّ الرَحا قُلِبَت ثِفالا
2. Else the young ones are sweeter in closeness
And more delicious if you want to act with them
٢. وَإِلّا فَالصِغارُ أَلَذُّ قُرباً
وَأَشهى إِن أَرَدتَ بِهِم فَعالا
3. When did you ever see an upright man
Who loves to encounter them, men
٣. مَتى أَبصَرتَ لوطِيّاً صَحيحاً
يُحِبُّ بِأَن يُصادِفَهُم رِجالا
4. Woe to you, my brother, if in my eyes
You were upright, even if you rode on mules
٤. ثَكِلتُكَ يا أَخي أَن كُنتَ عِندي
صَحيحَ الأَمرِ لَو نِكتَ البِغالا
