1. By my life! You have harmed us,
O son of Amr son of Masadah
١. قَد لَعَمري آذَيتَنا
يا اِبنَ عَمرِو بنِ مَسعَدَة
2. With your talks which
Are ruinous to reason.
٢. بِأَحاديثِكَ الَّتي
هِيَ لِلعَقلِ مَفسَدَة
3. So your long talks
Are rocks piled up,
٣. فَأَحاديثُكَ الطِوا
لُ صُخورٌ مُنَضَّدَة
4. And your short ones
Are frozen peaks.
٤. وَأَحاديثُكَ القِصا
رُ قِلالٌ مُبَرَّدَة
