Indeed, Qays was repeatedly numbered among the base,
Qais was truly immersed in vileness
the squeezed juice of a fledgling, an abiding source of baseness.
The essence of a fledgling from the mine of cowardice, a plotter

A foul birth from Sumayya—indeed, she is
An evil birth from a poisonous mother
a vile little slave-woman whose glory is not ancestral—
Umayya of evil, whose glory is never lasting

through open fornication with a little fool among them;
Brazenly committing adultery indiscreetly due to his stupidity
for she had outstripped them at every gathering.
Thus he surpassed them in every disgraceful act

So she bore Qays, the basest of people in ancestry,
So she brought forth Qais, the most vicious of all vicious men
if ever those of base lineage are mentioned.
Whenever the disgrace of the disgraced is recalled one day
