1. O Abū Nahshal, your convincing opinion,
When the most heinous event strikes,

2. What have you coveted from al-Khattali,
And do you take pleasure in revolution?

3. You reproach him while he is in a state,
That harms the penitent and does not benefit.

4. Do you not see a finger in his desire,
Wandering, and a finger in his cheek?

5. And he passes cups among you,
When the overflowing cup intoxicates him.

6. If he raids the weapons,
Of rabbits burrowing, pigs will follow.

7. And the son of our two dogs was not there,
To do some of what he does.

8. Woe to the poetry of Abul Baraq if,
The most violent gray hair revolves around it.

9. It will eat it and relieve the servants
Of its stench, then it will not be sated.
