1. هذا أُسَيْدٌ فقفْ على غدْرِهْ

    غَلَيِّمٌ قد أُصيب في دُبْرِهْ

    This is Usayd: take note of his treachery.

    A little lad who has been struck in his rear.

  2. لذاك ما إِن تني مُنَكَّسةً

    مغارفُ العالمينَ في قِدْرِه

    Thus, forever turned upside down,

    are all mankind's ladles in his cauldron.

  3. مكتحلٌ من ورائهِ أَبداً

    بميلِ لحمٍ علا على شِبْرِه

    He is forever adorned with kohl from behind,

    with a kohl-stick of flesh longer than his handspan.

  4. مَنْ رَمِدَتْ عينُه فآفةُ ذا

    من رَمَدٍ يشتكيهِ في جُحْره

    Whose eye has grown inflamed? But this one's affliction

    comes from an inflammation he complains of in his hole.
