1. O ignorant slave who threatens me
Will you flash lightning at me once your belly is full and thunder?

2. O ignorant slave, you were tested by a serpent
So you abandoned obeying us and went on to threaten

3. You insulted your Lord among the clan while standing
Just to make yourself present, if only you wouldn't exist

4. That's how an evil slave insults his Lord
Foolishly, but do the slaves get answered?

5. Sit down, for you are foolish and stubborn
Your wickedness will only lead you to ruin

6. And if you get drunk, take the rope of a brave one
And settle down, for you are a talker not guided

7. My gold adorned palms flow
With generosity, while my fire is lit with dry wood

8. And if you live long enough, you will recognize a poem
For which you must bow in prayer to it and prostrate

9. And you will remain thunderstruck by the cooing of a dove
Yet if called upon for an evil you do not shudder

10. And you filled your garment if you saw in your dream
An army fully equipped with polished swords

11. You frowned until you did not pray a single bow
And forgot what Prophet Muhammad said

12. And you reckoned me like your father who does not reproach injustice
So be patient for your reckoning that is not praised

13. Your Master keeps watch over you more than Rabia and Amir
He guides your palms while standing, never slumbering

14. So I left the uprooting of your CHANNEL to a man
Whose youth was adorned by grace and beauty

15. That's how your father always preferred dishonor
And kept lurking for fallen seeds

16. So if you sit upon the tavern and envy me
Surely the generous one is not envied when he flows

17. O ignorant slave who stuck to the tavern
And wasted the uprooting of his channel, you will not be fortunate

18. Had you not deferred to the one who misguided you with his rope
You would have felt remorse beyond cooling

19. If you were from the lion of the clan, you wouldn't have slept
Until the polished swords mix with him

20. You accustomed yourself to being squeezed, so release it
Every man is hostage to what he accustoms himself to

21. Your deficient lineage refused you, so it reached him
And clothed you in its humiliation, your sitting duck father

22. You cannot withstand a knight from Amir
Who hastens punishment while you are a shackled slave

23. And you feared the tyranny of a mighty Amirite
Before whose door delegations and envoys stand

24. And you built with fleabane and lupine
A house upon which an unending pantry sits

25. And you sought through patchwork manners our esteem
So you will surely return while your mother's belly rumbles

26. Gently, our loyalists, prepare our campaign
And when we rage, rage fully then scatter about

27. The servants of kings when we sit back in ease
Rise up, and if we shudder from fright they sit

28. Be for your Master a connected hand
And leave corruption to flow through the corrupt

29. And emulate a righteous father and uncle
Devoutly obedient to us - and excellent is the devout
