1. شاعتْ له دعوةٌ فأتبعها

    بدعوةٍ واللئيمُ ذو نظرِ

    A claim of kinship spread about him, so he followed it

    with another claim; the scoundrel is shrewd.

  2. لما ادعى والداً فجاز لهُ

    تَداخلَته حلاوةُ الظفر

    When he claimed a father and got away with it,

    the sweetness of triumph filled him.

  3. فاختار بنتاً لكي يكونَ لهُ

    كَعْثبها وُصْلةً إلى الكَمر

    So he chose a daughter, so that he might have

    her vulva as a link to the heads of penises.

  4. يزعمها بنتَهُ وأُقسم لل

    شوكيُّ أولى بها من البشر

    He claims her as his daughter; I swear,

    al-Shawki has more right to her than humankind.
