By God, O worst of people, his father
١. يا مَن يُبارز بِالعُقوق أَباهُ
اللَه يا شَر الأَنام أَباهُ
2. Your Lord raised you from the misery of begging greedily
Until after hardship you reached what you sought
٢. رباك مِن كار الشحاذة طامِعاً
بَعد المَشَقَّة في بُلوغ مُناه
3. When you became wealthy
You cut him off and cut off his hopes in you
٣. حَتى إِذا أَمسيت صاحب ثَروة
قاطَعتَه وَقَطَعتَ مِنكَ رَجاه
4. And dismissed his son while Kind Jābir
You broke his heart and increased his troubles
٤. وَطردت صبيتَهُ وَأَمّا جابرٌ
فَكسرت خاطره وَزادَ عَناه
5. And closed the door of nobility in the faces of all his relatives
What an evil recompense you have attained
٥. وَغلقت في وَجه الأَقارب كُلِّهم
بابَ المُروءة بئس ما تَلقاه
