1. Abu Hasan, you are the approach of death
And loss of wealth and transfer of fortunes
١. أَبا حَسَنٍ أَنتَ وَشكُ الأَجَل
وَثُكلُ الغِنى وَاِنتِقالُ الدُوَل
2. You claimed you were neither ruin
Nor stumbling, nor slipping
٢. زَعَمتَ بِأَنَّكَ لَستَ الدَمارَ
وَلَستَ العِثارَ وَلَستَ الزَلَل
3. So explain to us who brought his ill omens
Upon Abu Ja'far from the mountain road
٣. فَبَيِّن لَنا مَن لَوى شُؤمُهُ
أَبا جَعفَرٍ عَن بَريدِ الجَبَل
4. And showed desire in the family of Wahb
While you are their bad luck, O Saturn
٤. وَتُظهِرُ في آلِ وَهبٍ هَوىً
وَأَنتَ نَحَستَهُمُ يا زُحَل
5. You have undone them one by one
And separated from them all work
٥. نَقَضتَهُمُ عُروَةً عُروَةً
وَفَرَّقتَ عَنهُم جَميعَ العَمَل
