1. أَكُلَيبُ مالَكَ كُلَّ يَومٍ ظالِماً

    وَالظُلمُ أَنكَدُ وَجهُهُ مَلعونُ

    O Kulayb, why are you unjust every day?

    And injustice is ill-starred, its face accursed.

  2. قَد كانَ قَومُكَ يَحسَبونَكَ سَيِّداً

    وَإِخالُ أَنَّكَ سَيِّدٌ مَعيُونُ

    Your people used to think you a chief,

    and I think you are a chief afflicted by the evil eye.

  3. فَإِذا رَجَعتَ إِلى نِسائِكَ فَاِدَّهِن

    إِنَّ المُسالِمَ رَأسُهُ مَدهونُ

    So when you return to your wives, oil yourself;

    for the peaceable man's head is oiled.

  4. وَاِفعَل بِقَومِكَ ما أَرادَ بِوائِلٍ

    يَومَ الغَديرِ سَمِيُّكَ المَطعونُ

    And do to your people what was intended for Wa'il

    on the day of the pool by your stabbed namesake.

  5. وَإِخالُ أَنَّكَ سَوفَ تَلقى مِثلَها

    في صَفحَتَيكَ سِنانُها المَسنونُ

    And I think you will meet with its like:

    its sharpened spearpoint in your two flanks.

  6. إِنَّ القُرَيَّةَ قَد تَبَيَّنَ أَمرُها

    إِن كانَ يَنفَعُ عِندَكَ التَّبيينُ

    Indeed, the matter of al-Qurayya has become clear,

    if clarification is of any use to you,

  7. حَيثُ اِنطلَقتَ تَخُطُّها لي ظالِماً

    وَأَبو يَزيدَ بِجَوِّها مَدفونُ

    where you set out to mark it out for me unjustly,

    while Abu Yazid lies buried in its midst.
