1. بَنى دارِمٍ هَل تَعرِفونَ مُحَمَّداً

    بِدَعوَتِهِ فيكم إِذا الأَمرُ حُقيقا

    Sons of Darim, do you recognize Muhammad

    by his claim to belong among you, when the matter is verified?

  2. وَساميتمُ قَوماً كِراماً بِمَجدِكُم

    وَجاءَ سُكَيتاً آخرَ القَومِ مُخفِقاً

    And you vied with noble people through your glory,

    while he came in last in the race, behind the others, unsuccessful.

  3. فأصلُكَ دُهمانُ بنُ نَصرٍ فردَّهم

    وَلا تَكُ وَغداً في تَميمٍ مُعَلَّقا

    For your lineage is Duhman son of Nasr—so return to them;

    and do not be a scoundrel clinging to Tamim.

  4. فانَّ تَميماً لَستَ منهم ولا لهم

    أَخاً يابنَ دُهمانٍ فَلا تَكُ أَحمَقا

    For you are neither of Tamim nor their

    brother, O son of Duhman; so do not be a fool.

  5. وَلولا أَبو مَروانَ لاقيتَ وابِلاً

    مِن السَوطِ يُنسيكَ الرَحيقَ المُعَتَّقا

    And were it not for Abu Marwan, you would have met a downpour

    from the whip, making you forget the aged, pure wine.

  6. أَحينَ علاكَ الشيبُ أَصبحتَ عاهِراً

    وَقُلتَ اسقني الصَهباءَ صِرفاً مروَّقا

    Was it when gray hair overtook you that you became a fornicator

    and said, 'Give me tawny wine, undiluted and filtered'?

  7. تركتَ شَرابَ المُسلِمينَ ودينَهُم

    وَصاحَبتَ وَغَداً مِن فَزارةَ أَزرَقا

    You abandoned the Muslims' drink and their religion,

    and kept company with a blue-eyed scoundrel from Fazarah.

  8. تَبيتانِ مِن شُربَ المُدامَةِ كالَّذي

    أُتيحَ له حَبلٌ فَأَضحى مُخَنَّقا

    From drinking wine, you both spend the night like one

    for whom a rope was provided, and who ended up strangled.
