1. ياِبنَ عَبدِ الكَريمِ مِن أَزيَدِ الأَشيا

    ءِ في قَدرِ نِعمَةٍ أَن تُهانا

    O son of ʿAbd al-Karīm, among the things that most increase

    a blessing’s worth is that you be humiliated.

  2. لَم يَزَل شُؤمُكَ المُجَرَّبُ في الأَح

    زابِ قِدماً حَتّى عَزَلتَ أَخانا

    Your tried-and-tested ill luck persisted among the factions

    from long ago, until you dismissed our brother.

  3. قَد رَأَيتَ إِحتِراقَ قَلبي لِتُركا

    نَ فَإِلّا تَرَكتَ لي تُركانا

    You have seen my heart burning for Turkān;

    so why did you not leave Turkān to me?
