He sleeps with a belly full of his friend's flesh

يبيت بطينا من لحوم صديقه

Wearing a shirt of piety and seeking praise

خميصاً من التقوى ومن طلب الحمد

And goes about his business with a panther's sleep

٢. ينام إذا ما الليل جنَ ظلامُه
ويسري إلى حاجاته نومة الفهد

3. He keeps watch over the virgins of his people whenever night falls
For him the night and its darkness are like a lion in ambush

له الليل والسوآت كالأسد الوردِ

4. Bold in consuming and doing what is unlawful
But cowardly when facing his peers, tucked inside his coat

٤. جريئاً على أكل الحرامِ وفعله
جباناً عن الأقران معترمِ الكردِ
