1. To where Umm Qushaym pitched her tent, make your way
And bid the people no farewell or end-of-season goodbye

2. Part from Egypt's land and do not return
For this is a better parting than a feast or season

3. No one among the people shows you any destruction
Yet they provisioned you with their arrows

4. Do not be fooled by people's farewells
They are nations who showed affection only outwardly

5. In their mouths are hearts filled with hatred
Because you among them were the first mark

6. And their tears, when they flowed like the water of their hearts
Each vessel overflowed when stirred

7. And their secret was only your absence from them
Thus they attained the utmost advancement

8. While you remained among them, torment encompassed them
But after intention, they are in bliss

9. You sailed to Paris seeking progress
Yet in accomplishing the paths you conform to

10. That is the iniquity of honor in Egypt cured
So you traveled Paris-ward for medicine and spoils

11. When Paris saw you she wept
For your arrival in her was the first calamity

12. Oh woe to her people, torment befell them
And ignorance will encompass the generation after learning

13. You are Abu Jahl and your nature inherited
And whoever differs from their fathers in ignorance wrongs himself

14. You inherited from your forefathers every disgrace
And surpassed them in wickedness and prohibition

15. However much natural disposition a man may have
And if he differs from it, it is hidden from people, he knows

16. Do not expect the nobility of high moral character from a journey
For the eyelids of high moral character toward your existence are blind

17. And your hearing the attainment of high moral character is disappointing
And however prominent in the world you are, you are not respected

18. In you are traits, if you disclosed a few
The sweet would become like Zabn Alqum

19. And if letters of your name were written
Musk would become unsavory

20. In your name lies the shelter of poison, if you uttered it
All creation would die without funeral

21. And if Adam knew that you would remain in existence
He would have divorced Eve irrevocably

22. For that is an obligatory divorce not prohibited
Because you made him through you disobedient

23. And Satan an enemy of Adam
And stingy with prostration, for he

24. Saw you in their dwelling by decree
In you lies the lewdness of the Time of Ignorance that never

25. Ceased to have claws that were not clipped
I invoke upon you the curse of God for as long as He is Capable

26. And Characterizer of the life of this world and the next with blessing
Whoever is pleased that you should love him

27. Will be gored by fangs and trampled by hooves
You have not ceased corrupting the land when you travel

28. For you evil is greatest whenever you are concealed
And you have not ceased to be blamed, having left Egypt

29. And in other than it, you have not ceased to be disrespected
May God not return you to Egypt again

30. Since you have tasted the bitterest flavor from the sea of harm
And may your blameworthy action remain chronicled

31. To you abundant torment in Hellfire
