1. Oh son of a donkey she-ass, the donkey begets but an ass
Though a man were to walk wrapped in prestige tomorrow
١. يا اِبنَ الحِمارَةِ لِلحِمارِ وَإِنَّما
تَلِدُ الحِمارَةُ وَالحِمارُ حِمارا
2. He'd walk as thou walk naked, clutching thy sash to thy thighs
Thy manhood, which thou pridest, has given thee naught
٢. وَلَوَ أَنَّ أَلأَمَ مَن مَشى يُكسى غَداً
ثَوباً لَرُحتَ وَقَد كُسيتَ إِزارا
3. Though thy saddle were jeweled and golden its stirrup
٣. كَلَمَت مُروءَتُكَ الَّتي تُعنى بِها
لَو جادَ سَرجُكَ وَاِستَجَدَّ عِذارا
