قولوا لِسَرجَسَ يا اِبنَ القَحبَةِ الشَبِقَه

قولوا لِسَرجَسَ يا اِبنَ القَحبَةِ الشَبِقَه

وَمَن لَها في حَشاها شَهوَةٌ حَرِقَه

وَمَن لَها في حَشاها شَهوَةٌ حَرِقَه

Say to Sarjas: O son of the lustful whore,

Say to Sarjas, O son of a lustful prostitute

and of one whose belly holds a burning lust;

And one who has burning desire in his loins for her

وَاِبنَ الَّتي جَعَلَت لِلداءِ فَقحَتَها

وَاِبنَ الَّتي جَعَلَت لِلداءِ فَقحَتَها

وَقفاً عَلى كُلِّ فَحلٍ ناكَها صَدَقَه

وَقفاً عَلى كُلِّ فَحلٍ ناكَها صَدَقَه

and son of her who set aside her anus for the ailment,

And son of she who offered her diseased vagina

as an endowment for every stallion who fucked her—a charitable gift;

As a cunt for every virile man's erection

وَمَن تَذَلُّ لِوَقعِ الصَفعِ هامَتُهُ

وَمَن تَذَلُّ لِوَقعِ الصَفعِ هامَتُهُ

ذُلَّ الحُلوقِ الَّتي بِالحَبلِ مُختَنِقَه

ذُلَّ الحُلوقِ الَّتي بِالحَبلِ مُختَنِقَه

and one whose head is humbled by the impact of slaps,

And one whose pride is humbled by the slap

like throats strangled by a rope;

Of disgrace that chokes him with its rope

وَمَن إِذا عَدَّتِ الأَنباطُ كانَ إِذا

وَمَن إِذا عَدَّتِ الأَنباطُ كانَ إِذا

ما نَصَّ عَن أَصلِهِ مِن أَرذَلِ الطَبَقَه

ما نَصَّ عَن أَصلِهِ مِن أَرذَلِ الطَبَقَه

and one who, when the Nabataeans are counted, is—whenever

And one who, when the Arabs recount their ancestry

he declares his ancestry—of the vilest class;

Derives not from the noblest stock

وَمَن بِهِ أُبنَةٌ في الدِبرِ مُقلِقَةٌ

وَمَن بِهِ أُبنَةٌ في الدِبرِ مُقلِقَةٌ

قَد أَحرَقَت جَفنُهُ بَل طَوَّلَت أَرَقَه

قَد أَحرَقَت جَفنُهُ بَل طَوَّلَت أَرَقَه

and one with a tormenting itch for sodomy in his anus,

And one with a daughter who tosses in anal sex

which has scorched his eyelid—nay, prolonged his sleeplessness;

Who has scorched his eyelids and prolonged his insomnia

وَمَن بِهِ بَخرَةٌ تُردي مُخاطِبَةُ

وَمَن بِهِ بَخرَةٌ تُردي مُخاطِبَةُ

نَعَم وَتَترُكُ مِنهُ روحَهُ قَلِقَه

نَعَم وَتَترُكُ مِنهُ روحَهُ قَلِقَه

and one with foul breath that fells whoever addresses him,

And one with a female camel soliciting mating

yes, and leaves his very soul in turmoil;

Saying, "yes," and leaving him anxious and sleepless

وَمَن لَهُ عَمَّةٌ تَزني وَوالِدَةٌ

وَمَن لَهُ عَمَّةٌ تَزني وَوالِدَةٌ

قَوّادَةٌ نَذلَةٌ مَهتوكَةٌ خَلَقَه

قَوّادَةٌ نَذلَةٌ مَهتوكَةٌ خَلَقَه

and one with a fornicating paternal aunt and a mother,

And one with an aunt who commits adultery and a

a vile procuress, dishonored and worn-out;

Procuress mother, despicable and worn-out he created

وَأُختُ سوءٍ عَلى الأَعرادِ ضارِطَةٌ

وَأُختُ سوءٍ عَلى الأَعرادِ ضارِطَةٌ

ضُراطَ عَيرٍ لَدى البيطارِ قَد شَنَقَه

ضُراطَ عَيرٍ لَدى البيطارِ قَد شَنَقَه

and a wicked sister who farts upon cocks,

And a wicked sister farting at the suitors

like an ass farting before the farrier who has pulled its head up by the halter;

Farting like a donkey's at the veterinarian's noose

أَبدى الزَمانُ لَنا مِن صَرفِهِ عَجَباً

أَبدى الزَمانُ لَنا مِن صَرفِهِ عَجَباً

إِذ صارَ مِثلُكَ فيهِ لاوِياً عُنُقَه

إِذ صارَ مِثلُكَ فيهِ لاوِياً عُنُقَه

Time has shown us a marvel among its vicissitudes,

Time has shown us its wonders

when one like you came to twist his neck haughtily in it.

That the likes of you acts as judge and executioner

أَقسَمتُ لَولا بَداهاتي وَمَعرِفَتي

أَقسَمتُ لَولا بَداهاتي وَمَعرِفَتي

بِسُخفِ قَدرِكَ يا اِبنَ الجيفَةِ الوَدِقَه

بِسُخفِ قَدرِكَ يا اِبنَ الجيفَةِ الوَدِقَه

I swear: were it not for my ready judgment and my knowledge

I swear had I not known you were a fool

of your paltry worth, O son of the carcass in heat,

O son of a rotten carcass buried in sand

شَقَقتُ مِنكَ قَفاً لِلصَفعِ دامِيَةً

شَقَقتُ مِنكَ قَفاً لِلصَفعِ دامِيَةً

صَفعاً تَظَلُّ عَلَيهِ نادِرَ الحَدَقَه

صَفعاً تَظَلُّ عَلَيهِ نادِرَ الحَدَقَه

I would have split your nape, bloodied by slaps,

I would have cleaved your skull with a resounding slap

with slaps that would leave you with your eyeball popping out.

A slap leaving you with eyes sunken and bulging

كَلِن تَرَفَّعتُ قَدراً عَنكَ أَنَّ أَبي

كَلِن تَرَفَّعتُ قَدراً عَنكَ أَنَّ أَبي

نَجدٌ كَريمٌ وَجَدّي سادَ مَن سَبَقَه

نَجدٌ كَريمٌ وَجَدّي سادَ مَن سَبَقَه

But I rose above you in rank, for my father

But I refrained, for my father is noble

is valiant and generous, and my grandfather surpassed his predecessors.

And my grandfather led those who preceded him

بَل كَيفَ تَسلَمَ نَفسٌ مِنكَ قَد صَلِيَت

بَل كَيفَ تَسلَمَ نَفسٌ مِنكَ قَد صَلِيَت

بِسَطوَتي وَمَخاليبي بِها عَلِقَه

بِسَطوَتي وَمَخاليبي بِها عَلِقَه

Yet how can your soul escape, when it has been scorched

How could a soul be safe from you

by my onslaught, with my claws clinging to it?

When I have seized it in my claws that claw

يا اِبنَ الَّتي إِن دَجا لَيلٌ عَلى رَجُلٍ

يا اِبنَ الَّتي إِن دَجا لَيلٌ عَلى رَجُلٍ

وَباتَ يَطعَنُهُا بِالعَردِ في الحَلَقَه

وَباتَ يَطعَنُهُا بِالعَردِ في الحَلَقَه

O son of her who, when night grows dark over a man,

O son of she who if night falls on a man

and he spends the night stabbing her ring with his cock,

And he sleeps plugged by her penis in his throat

أَبدَت نَخيراً يُحاكي صَوتَ مِضرَتِها

أَبدَت نَخيراً يُحاكي صَوتَ مِضرَتِها

إِذا الغَوِيُّ مَجوناً بِالخُصى صَفَقَه

إِذا الغَوِيُّ مَجوناً بِالخُصى صَفَقَه

gives a snort mimicking the sound of her [farting-hole],

She produces a whimper imitating the sound

when the libertine, in lewd play, slaps it with his balls.

Of her cunt when the virile slaps loudly

إِن كُنتَ مِن عَدَمٍ أَظهَرتَ جَهلَكَ لي

إِن كُنتَ مِن عَدَمٍ أَظهَرتَ جَهلَكَ لي

لَما أَنِفتُ لِحُرٍّ ظاهِرِ الشَفَقَه

لَما أَنِفتُ لِحُرٍّ ظاهِرِ الشَفَقَه

If you showed me your ignorance out of destitution,

If you were from perfect nothingness you showed your ignorance

when I took offense for a freeborn man of manifest compassion—

When I refused to marry a free woman of clear nobility

وَذاكَ نَجدٌ لَوَ أَنَّ الخَلقَ سابِقَهُ

وَذاكَ نَجدٌ لَوَ أَنَّ الخَلقَ سابِقَهُ

إِلى العُلا وَسَماحِ الكَفِّ ما سَبَقَه

إِلى العُلا وَسَماحِ الكَفِّ ما سَبَقَه

and that man is valiant: were all creation to race him

That is al-Najd, who if people raced

toward eminence and open-handed generosity, it would not outrun him—

To the heights of generosity, would have preceded them

لَولا نُحوسٌ تَوَلَّت عَنكَ مُعرِضَةٌ

لَولا نُحوسٌ تَوَلَّت عَنكَ مُعرِضَةٌ

تُريدُ غَيرَكَ بِالآفاتِ مُختَرِقَه

تُريدُ غَيرَكَ بِالآفاتِ مُختَرِقَه

but for misfortunes that turned away from you, shunning you,

Were it not for misfortunes turning from you

seeking someone else to pierce with calamities,

Wanting others with disasters piercing

لَكانَ بَدرٌ وَنَجمٌ أَسلَماكَ إِلى

لَكانَ بَدرٌ وَنَجمٌ أَسلَماكَ إِلى

ذُلٍّ يَخافُ الرَدى مِن هَولِهِ فَرَقَه

ذُلٍّ يَخافُ الرَدى مِن هَولِهِ فَرَقَه

Badr and Najm would have handed you over to

You would have been a full moon and star

a humiliation whose horror leaves even death terror-stricken.

Delivered to humiliation fearing its terror causing dread

وَماعَداكَ فَشَيءٌ لَستَ تَعدَمُهُ

وَماعَداكَ فَشَيءٌ لَستَ تَعدَمُهُ

وَسَوفَ تَقبِضُهُ مِن عاجِلٍ نَفَقَه

وَسَوفَ تَقبِضُهُ مِن عاجِلٍ نَفَقَه

And what passed you by is something you will not lack,

There is nothing but you, you will not lack it

and soon you shall collect it as a promptly paid allowance.

And soon you will take it, hastening your demise
