1. I used to get upset when insulted, so he insulted me,
Abd al-Muqammis Mawhib ibn Ribah.

2. A slave of the most despicable breed grew in him
An ignoble, vile scoundrel descended from bandits.

3. The slave-traders brought him from his land,
So they came with a foul-smelling black beast.

4. He who seeks profit with his money bought him,
An evil spiteful ape with flaring nostrils.
