1. And a boon has passed like a donkey of ill omen
Through a village in which is called out
١. وَأَمسى مَوهَبٌ كَحِمارِ سَوءٍ
أَجازَ بِبَلدَةٍ فيها يُنادى
2. The likes of you, slave, are not to be trusted
Oh Suhayl you have strayed from your path, shun those you hate
٢. فَإِنَ العَبدَ مِثلَكَ لا يُناوى
سُهَيلاً ضَلَّ سَعيُكَ مَن تُعادى
3. So desist, O son of Qayn the evil, from him
And refrain from speaking in the lands
٣. فَأَقصِر يابنَ قَينِ السوءِ عَنهُ
وَعَدِّ عَن المَقالَةِ في البِلادِ
4. And mention not the reproach of my father Yazeed
Alas, the seas are not sated from the thirst
٤. وَلا تَذكُر عِتابَ أَبي يَزيدٍ
فَهَيهاتَ البُحورُ مِن الثِمادِ
