1. O son of Abu al-Jahm, beware of this kindness
For in it there is a hint of flirtation

2. O rubble of the hill and O face of the target
O elephant's dung and O flesh of oysters

3. O rent of the house, payment and loan
O night of the inn with its inn and palm

4. O sorrow of clouds over the dwellers of the room
O cold of January, disgraceful in Najaf

5. O icy salty water with corpses in it
O pottery of the oven, O evil pottery

6. O bad measuring and high prices and cheating
O onset of poverty and O old age senility

7. O bird of ill omen and O omen of ruin
O plugs in the nostrils from mucus

8. Whoever complains of excessive love and passion
I have for you hatred and aversion

9. The least of which is like disease and lice
Your house is a house of vileness completely

10. Where chastity and honor do not meet
But indecent singing girls gather in it

11. How many birds have I neglected until they flew away
The best thing scared away by bad food

12. I have remained in the evil care of your time
Following it one aversion after another

13. You have of my hatred, if you die later
Nothing but your offspring, bad legacy of an evil ancestor
