1. Amuttalib, leave off your false claims
For those are the traits of an unworthy man

2. How did you see the swords of Bani Hareth
And the battle of the chieftain of Bani Dhabba

3. Your proof is only their swords you hated
And you have no true devotion to pilgrimage

4. Your wealth did not come from war spoils
Nor from wisdom or honest work

5. Your gifts come from a swimmer one day
And a camel-rider another day

6. If people's wealth came from cunning
You would not get a handful of dust

7. If the virtuous drank water
You would not get a sip from them

8. If sustenance was for noble men
You would not get a thread or rag

9. But it is the sustenance of Him who gives it
It comes to dogs and bitches alike
