1. When he saw his mother being plundered
The poetry scatters her in countries and countries
١. لما رأى أمَّهُ نُهْبَى مقسمةً
يرمي بها الشعرُ بلداناً فبلدانا
2. I angered him, so he attacked me without winning
Like an angry bull butting the ground with its nose
٢. أغضبتُهُ فهجاني غيرَ منتصرٍ
كعاركٍ أنفه بالأرض غضبانا
3. His poetry revealed the weakness of his boast
A shame that tore for him a shameful wound
٣. أظهرت في شعره من ضعف مُنَّتهِ
خِزياً أعضَّ له من خِزي بورانا
