1. Abalhil, have you changed your colors?
And prevented yourselves from being divided?

2. I reproach a people whose father is docile,
To him belong the shining, noble deeds.

3. I am too shy, yes I feel embarrassed,
To reproach you with some of the harsh satires.

4. Don't you remember your days when you were sold
By an enemy and he took your money wrongfully?

5. They would hasten, rush with their stomachs to you,
With the tails of the sitting camels, branded.

6. O Bani Amer, why don't you forbid your slaves,
While you are free from all sins and crimes?

7. I think poetry knows about you,
The virtues of Ghawr, aiming for the seasons.

8. And if it informs about Najd, bite your fingers
At a time when regret benefits no penitent.

9. And I haven't left anyone of Qais Ailan with spears
Or Indian swords other than the scattered ones.

10. The daughters of Sarrah are docile, above its backs
When the caller rouses the men with the heels.

11. The dogs of meanness thought that I don't satirize
Tribes except the two sons of Dukhan in Darim.

12. How bad is the protector of truth, and the one
Who takes refuge in it from great sins.

13. And how many villain I raised his name,
And fed him through my name while he was not feeding.

14. He was soft, so he became softer
And meaner, with evident disgrace in resistances.

15. Abalhil, dishonor built upon you
The tents of meanness, a lasting affliction.

16. Abalhil, who is there if you are returned
As slaves to your masters, of opponents?

17. Abalhil, you are not the first who threw
At me, even if you are the wickedest of the wicked.

18. For if you return me where I was, I would return
Through Al-Mahdi all the injustices.

19. Were you anything but slaves who were freed
With collars around your necks and rings?

20. When the two sons of Rabia rise
To an abyss that cannot be climbed with ladders.

21. Beware I will throw you together
To its depths after intimacy of bosom friends.

22. But satirizing Bahila intensely
Is one of the major forbidden matters.

23. Is there anyone worthy in Ma'add other than
The two houses of Abd Shams and Hashim?

24. Are we not the most rightful of people when they measured
To glory with the distinguished feats?

25. And if you resurrect me after seventy years
Will I not be like the torment of Hell with its crimes?

26. And my satire, O two sons of Dukhan, and you
Is smoother than the impact of the sharp tongues.

27. So the days did not leave, listen to the one
That deafens and blinds with major calamities.

28. Thuhala of Rabia knew that you
Are slaves, and you were the most enslaved to defeats.

29. For you were in Taghlib, daughter of Wail
Slaves to them, given the dirhams as revenue.
