1. How could you insult the people of Thawaba
O companion of the afflicted eye

2. The people of generosity, dignity, origin, and intellect
The leaders of authority and prestige

3. Those reaching glory and building it high above them like domes
Taking the lead like courageous lions holding their tails

4. Nobles whose faces shine when they appear
No lofty mountain remains that one could climb

5. It is as though God made it smooth just for them
If praise were borrowed for a day they would possess it

6. My Lord, their view—when sound opinion is lost—
seeks the protection of the virtuous

7. A flawless integrity if missing, they would look for it
A people, if a crack appeared they would mend it

8. And if wintry days betrayed, they followed clouds
Their homes were made, along with the Ancient House, stations for us

9. We take successive rest in them whenever we wish
The desperate takes refuge with them when our rope shakes

10. No suppliant has called upon them without being answered
How many have taken shelter with them when days harmed them

11. Take from them a rope in tribulations and fear no breaking
Their like, understand the darkness that covers them with fine dust

12. And single out Abu Al Abbas in open-handedness truly with no mirage
A King whose hands people seek to kiss when he goes out

13. Ask his deputies about his overflowing munificence that informs you sincerely
A rain, if you seek it, you would find gold in its descending

14. The barefooted sit while it gushes towards them
Its breaths have made them abandon efforts

15. But delegations of gratitude do not cease to fill its courtyard
And when a grateful person sought from it the reward of benevolence

16. It gave what if marked would be taken by the grasping hands
So it made praise that adorns the roses permissible wealth

17. Many a banner of glory missed it while the commoners hit it
In speech he presents what rivals spill out evenly

18. An opinion, if the confused elongate differences in accounting
The plain truth does not veil itself from him nor does it fear ambiguity

19. The fulfiller of destiny, if determined, no doubt can divert it
No faultfinder blames it if matters collide with it

20. With its plot, it waters the thirsty and harvests ripe fruits
And its sharpness hunts down the causes of death when you see its punishment

21. It surpassed the perfect men as the lofty mountain surpassed its foothills
I swear by the King Whom no king can overpower

22. That I have turned aside praise to him without needing to invent any
And I swear by my solemn oath without wishing to breach it

23. Oh remote you are from the lies and doubts attributed to you
You have corrupted the one who walked straight

24. And forgot your corruption, O dust
If your wedding night were afflicted

25. It would not have invited you, then, to its bed
While he has not avoided the sanctuary of religion, evading it

26. Has anyone feared violation or apprehension like his fear?
Your insults do not harm him

27. Will the gossip of insects or nibbling of flies hurt him tomorrow?
You have initiated insulting him, thus increasing speech without pleasantness

28. You have considered it okay in a line of poetry while far from accurateness
How can one be outstretched when they have been raised so high?

29. However it is an elegant line just mentioning its meaning brings joy
You are blind to the ways of guidance and remain riding every confusion

30. How many times stretched between sin and solitude that you doubt!
Slandering it cheekily with an insolence in you that has solidity

31. That's how the likes of you slander venerable matters unveiled and blameworthy
I have said when I was told of what you did resembling the youth

32. Why not prevent him from insulting and say to him lies?
A blind and blinding man whose calculations hands cannot control

33. Afflicted by a problem with no sympathy
A dog howled trying to kill

34. As dogs tend to howl at ruins
So its howling led it while it howled at the ruins of the forest

35. It threw its puppies at me
And the blood on its mouth dyed its lips

36. So think of a Syrian dog that the lion entered its lair with his claws and canine teeth
How dare you insult the people of rewards or the slaves of people of rewards

37. Safe from all things worthy of questioning but not seeking answers
Many brothers their misdeeds have faded, those crowlike traits

38. Due to their forbearance on the Day of Judgment when his book is brought
Since no sin of his will be seen but through it while finding no credit

39. Every member of him appears guilty except his blessing
And if able, he would repel it

40. To be a door for misdeeds, may God hasten its removal
O you whose flaws at insolences hope for forgiveness one day

41. Get away from wretchedness and snake creeping through him
How can the scabby bald meet he who hopes for welcoming?

42. What do you resent towards a man who takes shelter in a burrow?
He has sheep that he releases not caring for the wolves

43. No, but women waddling with protruding pregnant bellies
They are the destination for those who spend their night lost not knowing where they will end up

44. You took liberties with the sanctities of a people whose trust is stored within their houses
No person of prestige wore the turbans of shame

45. Much less did he watch for blame in permitting them
And you lecture me that you insulted them?

46. O lower than plebeians
Hide your honor—do not diminish it—and deposit it at denigrations

47. Your honor does not equal the honor of a passerby so do not diminish it
I answered him when he said this in words that explain his speech

48. Had you insulted other than the people of rewards, I would not have allowed them insult
And I would not have accepted the babble of the villain or his hostility

49. But I protect them as long as my sea rages in its storms
And I see insulting my honor among them or wasting it as trivial

50. Since troubles in protecting them are pleasurable woes
If only their roads betrayed me one day at rugged Al-Shabah

51. My heart is their sanctuary so none can have its slopes but them
Why not when their memory is spirit if worries depart?

52. And if a wish distances, through them we hope its nearing?
I have alienated from my poetry the anger that boils

53. To please them, avoiding its disturbing troubles
I have slipped away from them to you and away from their territory of power

54. So your rhymes aspired and you threw matters of importance
Climb down, one who threw at towering heights

55. Surely one who threw at elevations, it would hit him
It was not your destiny to surpass praising them, no, confusion prevents you

56. Especially with a mouth whose seminal fluid drink does not dry up from its wine
Passing the shameless with it when the gift of old age inspires her

57. The most filthy thing if the rabble of its insolence were youthful
Are you not ashamed of what might defile your saliva?

58. While including that is not more despicable, rather more pleasant
Why were you not transformed when you mentioned them seriously or jokingly?

59. But transforming the transformed is impossible, especially for you
Do you think were you transformed you would achieve your ugliness or bleakness?

60. One is not transformed who has not covered what he fears being unveiled
Absolutely not! And between elegance and your face intimacy is in no way possible

61. Their memory is affliction to one like you among the wicked
No, but to one who touched your ignorance without washing his clothes

62. No, but to one entered the shade of your darkness without stripping his robes
You have not insulted them except so that you may insult so as to be mentioned among the fools

63. You have sought fame when you saw your ignorance in their absence
A (false) glory that you mend and a wound you constantly seek to loot

64. So when you gain a quick announcement you accept as reward
You do not accompany Abdullah but accompany Zayd and his activity

65. And you stood up punishing the oaf—no, his beating—
And the standing up of a person to do may just be his fall

66. While Abdullah is proceeding between your wonder and insects
With vices that heal simpletons when they are agitated from the clouds

67. With insolent intrusion that has torn your shroud after it tore the veil
O lost ransom that you seek to continuously appease

68. May your hands perish paying what no one pays as ransom
An old man if a young one scorns will sacrifice his youth

69. My eagerness upon you is a corrupt transgressor
With a tongue that has thinness

70. What is the matter an heir immerses in you of literature and writing?
Why not thank the people of rewards? What brought its rider's feet to a halt?

71. That you met those who have known you and the slave who busies his bag
While they have not seen censure of him one day or backbiting

72. Out of generosity, their reward from bounty was to delegate donations
To insult them of enmity scattering his flies constantly upon them

73. That's how the hostile aggresses if you understand his origin
A man asking other than what God has made requesting of him

74. Ask about that his disgrace violating the protected innocents and seizing by force
Crowding the shameless forcibly then corrupting her veil

75. Oh his wicked opening! And his nostrils took in its expanse!
A beast whose hearing they deafened so his warning of blame silenced him

76. Then he transgressed denying it while his companions drip it
The people bestowed good upon you but you did not reward it well

77. They covered your scandal, not the suspicion, seeing the disgrace itself
You denied them a denial that made the ugliness of their tan darker

78. And you entered the morning falsely accusing the innocent ones while not wiping the dust
Pelting them with slander carelessly, obstructing them while calculating

79. You will come to know in the morning who you pelted
And the fog will dissipate from you

80. Your hands will blame what they have earned when you meet your punishment tomorrow
And you will confess you were ignorant

81. Not coming to matters correctly
He who lights the useless woods at night, blames it at dawn

82. Many like yourself prolongs his sins then chooses
And I have inserted in the section of censure lewd seminal fluid

83. Until he became after cheerfulness dressed in gloom
Fearing above him my torment and pouring

84. But it's me who poked censure by striking with its spark a flame
It's me who if the ground removed will light his oil and quench his thirst

85. And if the procession of poets rebelled and turned away from me in torment
As for when you seek its opening, I will open upon you its door

86. And I will carry you off ardent poet whom the inflammation of poetry burnt
If he raised the iron to strike fierce, its flashing melted it

87. Take it! A response for the meddlesome whose responses always silenced
The clattering women if the man had many faults in his clattering

88. He flees with an opinion had it shaken the boulders it would have answered!
He finds a solution in a tumultuous sea that dazzles the eyes when it sees its shores clashing

89. And he proceeds according to what he heard the waves in it and its building
No support remains for you after it if you collide with it

90. The herd of devastation if a man abundantly erred in their devastation
Shooting every villainous opinion as though if it shook it would split a rock

91. Drawing from a sea its essence dazzles eyes when they see its white foam
And it is deafening if ears heard the frequent pounding of its waves and their collision

92. You will have no more opinions after it if you collide with it
Its plot waters the thirsty and reaps the ripe

93. And its sharpness hunts the causes of death when you see its punishment
It has surpassed men of perfection as the towering mountain surpassed the elevation of its carpet

94. I swear by the King no king can overpower
I have exempted praise of him while I did not burden myself seeking exemption

95. I have sworn an oath I do not wish to breach
Oh remote from the abhorred lies ascribed!

96. You have crippled the one walking straight and forgot your crippling, O speck of dust!
Had your wedding night been afflicted, it would not invite you then

97. While he has not avoided the sanctuary of religion shunning
Has anyone taken precautions of violations like his precautions?

98. Your insults do not harm him, will the insects’ gossip or flies’ bites hurt him tomorrow?
You have initiated insulting him increasing speech without pleasantness

99. You declared it lawful in a poetic line while distant from precision
How can one be outstretched when they have raised his elevation?

100. However it is a line with meaning that recalls joy when mentioned
You are blind to the path of guidance remaining riding every confusion

101. How many times stretched out between sins and solitude that you doubt!
Slandering it with insolent vulgarity solid in your composition

102. That’s how the like of you slander lofty matters of dignity exposed and blame
I have said when told of your resemblance to reckless wary youth

103. Why not forbid him from insulting and declare his lies upon them?
A blind menace whose calculations hands cannot contain

104. Afflicted by plagues without condolences
A dog has howled seeking blood

105. As dogs tend to howl arid ruins
Thus its howl sent arid ruins of the forest

106. It releases its young upon me
Staining its mouth my blood colored its dripping

107. Imagine if a Syrian dog the lion entered its lair, clawing and biting
How dare you insult the people of glory or servants of people of glory?

108. Safe from all things questionable but not pursuing inquiry
Many brethren their evil deeds have vanished, those crow-like signs

109. Due to their restraint, the Day their book is brought for Judgment
Since no sin manifests but through it, while earning no merit

110. Every member appears at fault, only its innocence inculpated
If able, it would repulse

111. To be a door for immorality, may God hasten its conclusion
O you whose blemish insolently hopes for forgiveness someday

112. Away from wretch! A serpent slithers creeping within!
How can the scabbed bald meet he who hopes for welcoming?

113. What do you resent in a man sheltered in a burrow?
Owning sheep not minding the wolves wandering them

114. No, but women waddling, bulging bellies burdened
They are the fate of ones spending their night not knowing their fate

115. You have taken liberties among sanctities of a people trusting custody in their homes
None esteemed has donned disgrace's turban

116. Much less apprehensively disallowed permitting them
Yet you fault me for insulting them?

117. O lower than riffraff!
Hide your honor—do not slight it—embed it in degradations!

118. Your honor's not the equal of a passerby's, do not disparage yourself!
I answered him when he declared this in words detailing his oration:

119. Had you insulted other than the Glories’ people, I'd not allow insulting them
I'd not accept the villain's nonsense or hostility

120. Nay I protect them until my sea rages in its tempest
And I see insulting my honor or wasting it among them as paltry

121. Since troubles in their sanctuary are pleasurable afflictions
If only their roads had not betrayed me someday at formidable al-Shaba

122. My heart's inviolate for them so none can HAVE ITS SLOPES BUT THEM
WHY NOT WHEN THEIR MEMORY IS SPIRIT IF CARES DISPERSE?

123. And if a desire distances, through them we hope its nearing?
I have alienated my poetry's anger boiling

124. To gratify them, avoiding its disturbing troubles
I have slipped from them to you and from their sphere of reign—

125. So your rhymes have soared and affairs of import you have tossed!
Climb down! One who flung at towering heights—

126. Surely one who flung at peaks, it would strike him!
It was not your fate to excel praising them—nay, confusion thwarts you—

127. Especially with a mouth whose seminal fluid does not dry from its wine's pour
Chasing the shameless therewith when the gift of old age compels her—

128. Most sordid thing! If the dross of its insolence were youthful vigor!
Are you not ashamed of what might defile your spittle?

129. While including that is no more despicable—nay, more palatable!
Why were you not transformed having mentioned them in earnest or play?

130. But transforming the transformed is impossible—most of all for you!
Think you if transformed you'd have gained your ugliness or drear?

131. One's not transformed who has not masked what violation lays bare!
Absolutely not! Between elegance and the aspect of your face no closeness lies!

132. Remembering them is torment to one such as you amid perversity
Nay to one who touched your plague yet did not wash his cloak

133. Nay to one who waded into your darkness yet did not strip his robe
Naught insults them but that you may slight and be named amid fools—

134. Seeking glory when beheld your ignorance in their absence
A glory you amend and a scar you constantly demand to ruin

135. Thus if you gain a swift herald you find pleasing as reward
Not accompanying Abdullah but accompanying Zayd in his toil—

136. Standing erect to punish the lout—no! flog him!
A person's standing to enact can just conclude in their fall

137. While Abdullah proceeds amid your wonders and insects
With vices healing simpletons when agitated by the firmament's tempests

138. With insolent intrusion rending your shroud after rending the veil—
O lost ransom perpetually appeased through you!

139. May your hands that pay what none pay as ransom perish!
An elder if a juvenile disdains will offer his vigor

140. I yearn for your fall, O transgressive defiler
With a tongue of frailty—

141. Why does an heir wade in you amid literature and script?
Why not thank Rewards' people? What halted the rider at their feet?

142. As you have met those recognizing you and the slave stuffing his purse—
