1. No mountain of Tay' is more impregnable
Than 'Ali, the polished sword blade of Allah.

2. That man, if you want to break him
His eyes rain curses on you.

3. People are his friends. But if they mention no
Bread, they're no friends of his.

4. Who buys meat, then puts it in the
Oven, gentleness is the door of doors,

5. Until it's cooked to the point of breaking
Into juicy, congealed fatness,

6. Disputes over the meat, so as to justify
Taking it back, satisfied with a whiff of aromas,

7. In his villainy, that if people withhold
Anything, he twists his lip in estrangement.
