1. I responded to Musa ibn Harun with all goodness
And I was generous to the free people since I was very cautious

2. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, then I whipped him
For the lies he told about me with many lashes

3. Let's return to Musa, for his words
Are strange, even if the forbearing one raged and lashed out

4. He falls short of what his situation today eats
And is excessive in offering tempting words

5. That reached the healthy ones, so they came
To his door from all kinds of people, mixed crowds

6. Why doesn't he match his words with his actions
When his dinars are only twenty carats
