1. Shall I not tell Al-Dahhak that his veins
are exhausted with Islam from excelling?
١. أَلا أَبلِغِ الضَحّاكَ أَنَّ عُروقَهُ
أَعيَت عَلى الإِسلامِ أَن تَتَمَجَّدا
2. Do you like the Hijaz and their religion
like the liver of a donkey, yet dislike Muhammad?
٢. أَتُحِبُّ يُهدانَ الحِجازَ وَدينَهُم
كَبِدَ الحِمارِ وَلا تُحِبُّ مُحَمَّدا
3. Whenever a youth with a sharp tongue arises for you
you beguile him, so he becomes calm and gentle.
٣. وَإِذا نَشا لَكَ ناشِئٌ ذو غِرَّةٍ
فَهُّ الفُؤادِ أَمَرتَهُ فَتَهَوَّدا
4. If you were one of us, you would not oppose our religion,
and would have followed your father's religion when he became a Muslim.
٤. لَو كُنتَ مِنّا لَم تُخالِف دينَنا
وَتَبَعتَ دينَ عَتيكَ حينَ تَشَهَّدا
5. By your life! Your religion does not conform with ours,
Not one house stands by Al-Badi and Khawwad.
٥. ديناً لَعَمرُكَ ما يُوافِقُ دينَنا
ما اِستَنَّ آلٌ بِالبَدِيِّ وَخَوَّدا
