1. O virtuous man whose hand is bound,
With which I suffice against the turns of time,

2. And who was best in keeping his promise with me,
So the faithful were blamed for my abandonment,

3. And whose love I devoted my religion to,
The day the secrets of religions fade away,

4. I complain to you of a life that tried me,
No reproach for what has passed of my life,

5. For me, it is like Moses the son of Imran regarding,
What I compose in my poetry collection.

6. People swore they never saw before me,
A heart as caring for the Hebrews as mine.

7. How I protected him, yet he was not,
Stingy, if only my tongue had power over him.

8. I'm tired of one who did me wrong and was vulgar,
To one who did not cease doing good.

9. Of aggressors who betrayed me with harm,
My neighbor wronged me and disturbed my neighbors.

10. They trumpeted that I abandoned thousands,
And uncovered from it the heads of the innocent.

11. There is no fraud, foreigner, deficiency or fleecing in it,
So by my horses when they gallop, my boys,

12. And what my testicles produced of boys,
Who claimed that I own property that distracted me from collecting it.

13. Where is the face of the work that I do,
Among the faces of the merchants and notables?

14. I am the man of wealth, O people of meanness, I have,
No barren land, farm, or forgetfulness,

15. Nor do I have a bundle that can be opened,
Or appointment while I am in disgrace, or treasures.

16. Take what I gained in poetry through poetry,
Taste the bitterness of deprivation.

17. O husbands of prostitutes, my clenched fist deceived you,
And my holding back my tongue from you.

18. And you looked at my outer garment, so you died,
Before my death, because of it and my shirts.

19. And on it the building was, so you were,
Under these shells, the pearls of youth.

20. And your informers saw that I had a fire,
Hidden behind that smoke.

21. They got up when the eulogizer among you got up,
Every billy goat saying the roar of the meadows,

22. Gloating over me, and if he were to die, he would not,
For my shame, sneer, if his lips died.

23. The secret of my death was the day I was robbed between,
The chin of a mule and the eye of a horse.

24. Between two billy goats from two tribes whose opinion,
Was united to guaranty.

25. And the two adversaries plundered my inheritance,
In a vinegar vessel from which they drink.

26. They both lie, neither supporter among them,
Nor Uthmani contracts and ties the knot.

27. God knows that the two sheikhs have no religion,
That would satisfy the two sheikhs.

28. You have crossed the line, O ill-omened fate,
And you disasters of time have gathered.

29. You have tied me with half blind and dark,
Who brought the worst of the vicious and the diseased.

30. O two wishes attacking the dead,
To revive an ember come from Oman.

31. This vile one's honor melted away,
And this amulet is for the feeble.

32. And if they depend on the feebleness of a weakling,
The Hashimi bier moves to the Marwani.

33. And when there is no self-conceit,
My legs fly to Tahtani.

34. The slaves have established their rights, and the honored,
Have been humiliated in knowledge and the Turkmen have dragged them.

35. Among them was a raven, a raven of discord,
And the one-eyed, blind and helpless.

36. They made me Qarun - woe is me - with lies,
Not an unbeliever with slander.

37. Do you see me eating up my children's food,
Like what the Caesar used to do?

38. Or hoarding money in my son Khalid,
The year Sinan's mother led him?

39. Or my oils killed the martyr, while I own,
Profits in the Ma'arrah of Nu'man?

40. Or have I taken over enumerating what,
Ibn Ziyad used to collect of the villages' stores?

41. Or do you see me coming out against Ibn Nusaybi,
Who ate the validated books with impunity?

42. Or did I complain like him, so for me are,
A thousand acres when I'm content with a hundred?

43. Or am I one of a group who stained with debt,
Until they accounted for blood money for the indebted?

44. They bent it into supererogatory acts with perception,
In which their ostentation and reciting Quran were shown.

45. Or did I break the quarters like the breaking of Banu,
Muhjawir with lies or Banu Za'faran?

46. Or have I committed adultery after donning the rags,
And it overflowed like the noon drinks?

47. Which of those I lampooned and praised,
If his name were included in my poetry collection,

48. It would be good fortune for him. And how many Solomons do I have in the land,
If ignorance came over me from my ignorant father?

49. O Abu Salim, if you are to reconcile with me,
Then destiny is among my supporters.

50. And Abu Fadl is for me and sufficient for me is Abu Fadl,
When virtue drops the heaviness of confusion.

51. And when the dispossessed complain about my state,
In a year of dearth, while you two are the caretakers,

52. If you live, then the bridge is mine, and stronghold,
And protection, precedence and care are mine.

53. My chamber throws sparks, and my mule prances,
From the irritation of commands.

54. And I raise my gaze between my mule and my cushion,
To them, and my room and my horse.

55. Amin was generous until he became stingy,
Then I was generous, so Ibn Hani made light of me.

56. They envied me, and where is one who poured oil,
On the stomachs of the gently-bred and the plowers?

57. And the eulogizer is suffering, so they enumerated his virtues,
And what he kept secret of grievances appeared.

58. And the unseemly among them walked to the horned,
Praising what my hands made there.

59. Then when he deafened them, he considered it,
A denial and refusal, praising what I made.

60. And the skilled asked me, thinking,
That aloofness would be from my eyelids.

61. They speculated that I excelled, so they were proud,
Of the nonsense of my excellence upon the chins.

62. Oh what an issue that carried away my happiness,
That I was sent as the second Noah.

63. It guaranteed my survival, then the drowning,
Of the gloaters increased in my flood.

64. It was only an hour, then it took away,
The scales' pans from the people of meanness.

65. It was said to be a quake, so he hid,
In the bosom of his mother, he who disgraced me.

66. And they left dripping with deceit,
And faces painted with saffron.

67. This is like chicory from the loins of protector,
And that is like mallow for jaundice.

68. And tomorrow we will meet, and the cupping-glass will bubble,
When it smells the sprigs of lemongrass.

69. And you see the falcon has risen up from my roof,
So the rocks of Al-Karwan have flowed.

70. Where am I from the people of aqueducts and gardens,
If I release the sunset of their building?

71. Or are these not the fruits of one who was saved,
From the eighties behind the eighties?

72. He flew behind the hundred in verse, and his ingenuity,
Ninety arguments and two witnesses pruned him.

73. His poetry amazed people, and he is dead,
Tucked into the folds of the shroud.

74. It is miraculous, it was proven true by it, if you prophecy,
And I have not come with proof.

75. I am a sheikh, if his rhymes are connected,
They fly above the hypocrisy of the youth.

76. Not heavy when he converses, his molar engraves,
Meanings in the engraved meanings.

77. Neither is his spittle that drips down the love,
From above the watering place of the devil.

78. Neither is his foot when it enters the house, a misfortune,
Bitter for its inhabitants.

79. He meets the frown of his days smiling,
Wicked, loose-reined libertine.

80. And if the market becomes congested with hypocrisy,
He sells the perfume of gifts for free.

81. So congratulations to those I satirized and praised,
If his name is included in my poetry collection.

82. If ignorance from my ignorant father overtook me,
And how many Solomons do I have in the land?

83. O Abu Salim, if you reconcile with me,
Then destiny is among my supporters.

84. And Abu Fadl is for me and sufficient for me is Abu Fadl,
When virtue drops the heaviness of confusion.
