1. فَمَن مُبلِغٌ حَيّانَ عَنّي وَعاصِماً

    رِسالَةَ مَن لَم يُهدِ نُصحاً بِإِرسالِ

    Who, then, will convey on my behalf to Hayyan and Asim

    A message from one who has offered no sincere counsel in sending it,

  2. وَرَهطَ اِبنِ حَبّاسٍ فَأَنّى غَنِمتُمُ

    لَكُم بِأَحاديثَ الخُرافَةِ أَمثالي

    And to the clan of Ibn Habbas: how have you gained

    The likes of me for yourselves through fanciful tales?

  3. فَوَاللَهِ ما مِنكُم أَبي قَد عَلِمتُمُ

    وَلا مِنكُمُ أُمّي وَلا مِنكُمُ خالي

    For, by God, my father is not one of you, as you well know,

    Nor is my mother one of you, nor my maternal uncle.
