1. لَقَد كُنتَ خَيّاطاً فَأَصبَحتَ فارِساً

    تُعَدُّ إِذاعُدَّ الفَوارِسُ مِن مُضَر

    Indeed, you were a tailor, then became a horseman.

    You are counted when the horsemen of Mudar are counted.

  2. فَإِن كُنتَ قَد أَنكَرتَ هَذا فَقُل كَذا

    وَبَيِّن لِيَ الجُرحَ الَّذي كانَ قَد دَثَر

    So if you have denied this, then say so,

    And show me the wound that had faded away.

  3. وَإِصبَعُكَ الوُسطى عَلَيهِ شَهيدَةٌ

    وَما ذاكَ إِلّا وَخزَها الثَوبَ بِالإِبَر

    And your middle finger bears witness to it,

    And that is nothing but its pricking the garment with needles.
