1. إنَّ إسماعيل قِرْدٌ مجرمٌ

    إن سقاني دَمَهُ اللَّهُ شفاني

    Indeed, Ismail is a criminal monkey.

    If God gave me his blood to drink, He would heal me.

  2. لو رأى آدمُ جهلي لَمْحةً

    يوم شاورتُ اليهوديَّ نفاني

    Had Adam seen my ignorance for a moment,

    the day I consulted the Jew, he would have banished me.

  3. سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عليهِ طِبَّهُ

    وكفاه طِبَّهُ لا بَلْ كفاني

    May God unleash his own medicine upon him,

    and spare him his medicine—no, rather, spare me!

  4. لو يُداوِي نفسَهُ من عِلَّةٍ

    لَتَدَاعي بالتَّلاشي والتفاني

    Were he to treat himself for an illness,

    he would collapse into dissolution and annihilation.
