1. To Mecca the stupid man came not knowing
That I am of Arabic nobility
١. دبي إِلى حَرمٍ ما كانَ أَحمَقَهُ
إِذ لَم يَقُل إِنَّني مِن سادَةِ العَرَبِ
2. Was he more helpless than a people I saw
Who boasted of pedigree in their old age
٢. أَكانَ أَعجَزُ مِن قَومٍ رَأَيتُهُمُ
تَسَوَّروا بَعدَ ما شابوا عَلى الحَسَبِ
