1. قُل لِعَبدِ الكَريمِ يا اِبنَ أِبي العَو

    جاءِ بِعتَ الإِسلامَ بِالكُفرِ موقا

    Say to ʿAbd al-Karīm: O son of Abū al-ʿAwjāʾ,

    you sold Islam for unbelief, out of folly.

  2. لا تُصَلّي وَلا تَصومُ فإِنَ صُم

    تَ فَبَعضَ النَهارِ صَوماً رَقيقا

    You neither pray nor fast; and if you fast,

    then only for part of the day—a meager fast.

  3. لا تُبالي إِذا أصَبتَ مِنَ الخُم

    رِعَتيقاً أَن لا تَكونَ عَتيقا

    You do not care, when you obtain some wine,

    well aged, that you yourself are not set free.

  4. لَيتَ شِعري غَداةَ حُلّيتَ في الجي

    دِ حَنيفاً حُلّيتَ أَم زِنديقا

    Would that I knew, the morning you were adorned at the neck:

    were you adorned as a true believer or a heretic?

  5. أَنتَ مِمَّن يَدورُ في لَعنَةِ اللَهِ

    صَديقٌ لِمَن يَنيكُ صَديقا

    You are among those who go about under God's curse,

    a friend to anyone who fucks a friend.
