1. كَلامُكَ مُلتَبِسٌ لا يَبينُ

    كَالخَطِّ أَغفَلَهُ الناقِطُ

    Your speech is ambiguous; it is not clear,

    like writing neglected by the letter-dotter.

  2. نَصَحتُكَ لا تَعتَرِف يا أُخَيّ

    بي فَأَنا الرَجُلُ الساقِطُ

    I advised you, my little brother: do not acknowledge

    me, for I am a fallen man.

  3. وَلَو كُنتُ مُلقىً بِظَهرِ الطَريقِ

    لَم يَلتَقِط مِثلي اللاقِطُ

    And even if I were cast upon the road,

    no gatherer would pick up one like me.
