1. Abu al-Suroor ibn Jureij, a young man
Has not been happy since he was humble

2. He was a Christian, but when he became
A Muslim, he forgot lowliness

3. And he stopped respecting the noble
Or seeing them having any merit

4. Vanity intoxicated his morals
So nobility and lowness departed from him

5. Greetings from him ceased, so you would not
Hear a greeting of welcome or peace from him

6. And most Muslims did not greet him
Rather they wished for his death
