1. بني هاشم ما لي أراكم كأنَّكم

    تجورون أحياناً وأنتم أُولو عدلِ

    Sons of Hashim, why do I see you as though you

    act unjustly at times, though you are men of justice?

  2. كما لو هجاكُمْ شاعرٌ حلَّ قَتْلُهُ

    كذاك فأوفوا مدْحَه دِيَةَ القتلِ

    Just as, if a poet lampooned you, killing him would be lawful,

    so pay for his praise the full blood money for a killing.
