1. The son of Ruzzayk has a long chin
From the womb of the origin of his mother and mine

جوف أصل رحمِ أمِّهِ وأُمّي
2. I am named Wajeeh
So wonder at the gathering of his name with mine

فاعجَبُ لَجمعِ اسمهِ معَ اسمي
3. An article in which I am not blamed
That brought together insulting him and insulting me
٣. مقالةٌ لا أُلامُ فيها
قَد جَمَعَتْ شَتْمَهُ وَشَتْمي
4. I praised him while he did not distinguish
Between my praise of him and my insult
٤. مَدَحْتُه وَهْوَ لَمْ يُفَرِّقْ
ما بينَ مَدْحي لهُ وذَمِّي
5. Until when I approached him
At my time declaring with my verse
٥. حتّى إذا ما دَنَوْتُ منهُ
من ساعَتي مُعْلِناً بِنَظمي
6. He wrinkled his nose at me as if I were
In his clothes with dirtiness
٦. قَلّصَ لي أنفَهْ كأنّي
في عُبهِ بِكُمي
