1. فتىً لما رأى الأنسابَ عزّاً

    تناولِ غيرَ نسبةِ والديهِ

    A young man, when he saw honor in ancestry,

    claimed a lineage other than that of his parents.

  2. ويَرضى أن يقال له شريفٌ

    ومن يرضى إذا اكذبوا عليه

    And he is pleased to be called noble—

    but who is pleased when they lie about him?
