1. Abu Harim, I will soon
Rain it with some blood
١. أَبا هَرِمٍ أُنحُها إِنَّني
سَأُمطِرُها عَن قَليلٍ دَما
2. Do not be arrogant with the nose of the docile
It is better for your nose to be bent
٢. وَلا تَشمَخَنَّ بِأَنفِ الأَنِيِّ
فَأَولى لِأَنفِكَ أَن يُرغَما
3. And when you come down against me
Seeking for me a chastening supporter
٣. وَإِنَّكَ يَومَ تَنَزّى عَلَيَّ
وَتَبغي لِيَ المُؤيَدَ الصَيلَما
4. Like one who wrestled the fierce lion
In the forest or confronted the lancer
٤. كَمَن صارَعَ الأَسَدَ المُستَغي
رَ في الغابِ أَو ساوَرَ الأَرقَما
5. You initiated then followed with quandaries
While I saw the initiator as darker
٥. بَدَأتَ فَعَقَّبتَ في المُعضِلاتِ
وَكُنتُ أَرى البادِئَ الأَظلَما
6. I did not shoot arrows of collars
Except at a man who shot me when he shot
٦. وَما كُنتُ أَرمي بِسَهمِ العُقو
قِ إِلّا اِمرَأً صابَني إِذ رَمى
7. I made you lost in the wilderness after
I took you through the most upright paths
٧. قَذَفتُكَ في التيهِ مِن بَعدِ ما
سَلَكتُ بِكَ السَنَنَ الأَقوَما
8. While my atmosphere shone upon you
But for your injustice it did not illuminate
٨. وَقَد كانَ أَشرَقَ جَوّي عَلَيكَ
وَلكِن لِظُلمِكَ ما أَظلَما
9. So stop where you are, not everyone who
Wanted to be tall and tower, did tower
٩. فَقِف حَيثُ أَنتَ فَما كُلُّ مَن
بَغى أَن يَطولَ وَيَسمو سَما
10. Nor whoever preceded attained the height
Cheaply, but only he who was led
١٠. وَلا مَن تَقَدَّمَ نالَ العُلى
رَخيصاً وَلَكِنَّ مَن قُدِّما
11. I will send it a gazelle that walks with pride
Or sweats the mighty
١١. سَأَبعَثُها ظُبَةً تَختَلي ال
خَصائِلَ أَو تَعرُقُ الأَعظُما
12. Against you charging, storming
With evil or defeating gloom
١٢. فَدونَكَها قاصِفاً عاصِفاً
مِنَ الشَرِّ أَو عارِضاً مُرزِما
13. Arrows that scatter the knitting of armors
And downgrade the conspicuous hero
١٣. قَوارِصَ تَنثُرُ نَظمَ الدُروعِ
وَتَستَنزِلُ البَطَلَ المُعلَما
14. Whoever was watering you the irrigation of harvest
I will make you lick it with tolerance
١٤. فَمَن كانَ يَسقيكَ رَيَّ الجِنى
فَإِنّي سَأُلعِقُكَ مُستَلئِما
15. And whoever was meeting you in surrender
I will meet you with tolerance
١٥. وَمَن كانَ يَلقاكَ مُستَسلِماً
فَإِنّي أُلاقيكَ مُستَلئِما
