1. Stop, O night companion, and move away with your gloomy songs,
O trustee of Allah, O best of governors,

2. Surely, Sawwar ibn Abdillah is among the evildoers of judges,
Surely Sawwar is blind, from those of loud immorality,

3. A lame Nathali, certainly not manly for you all,
His grandfather a thief of she-goats, one of the immoral ones,

4. He insults the Messenger of Allah, and charges him with abhorrent things,
He who used to call out from behind the apartments,

5. "O Hanaa, come out to us, we are the people of perversion,"
He made traditions for us, which were the inheritances of tyrants,

6. So we insulted him, and whoever we insult is pelted with spitting,
So forbid him, may Allah not forbid him the evils of the night visitors.
