1. Say to the pretentious noble in his dishonesty,
You have reached the utmost limit of lying,

2. If you were from Mudar and not one of them,
The chieftain of the Arabs would not be from it.

3. Do not disparage its Hashimites,
Leaving virtue in Abi Lahab,

4. You have borne disgraces that were excused
For the sake of her who bears the firewood.

5. A nobility which denied you its sham is noble,
Strutting in the breaths of the plundered one.

6. And the Registry's shame if they scream,
Who will question the thief of lineage?

7. That falcon did not cease to inhabit it
Until it became a ruin along with the ruins.

8. O blind watcher, though the glances
Of the expectant played on his face,

9. The Caliph turned his gaze from you, his watcher,
So you looted from origin and lineage.
