1. I described the pond to you, O son of Al-Hussein
In the manner of Al-Harith the one-eyed

2. So if you drink from it tomorrow a draught
You will gain more than your share

3. So my only sin is that I
Mentioned the one who fled from Khaibar

4. I mentioned a man who fled from Mirhab
Like a donkey flees from a lion

5. But a boon companion of yours denied that
A despicable man of evil character

6. He insulted me with love for the Imam of guidance
And the greatest viceroy of our nation

7. I will shave his beard, for it
Bears witness to lies and forbidden things
