1. أَيا عَجَباً ما للشّريفِ يَذمُّني

    وَيُبغضُني حَتّى كَأَنّيَ مَسجِدُ

    Oh, how strange! Why does the Sharif disparage me

    and hate me so much, as though I were a mosque?

  2. وَلا عَيبَ عِندي غَيرَ أَنّي مُسلِمٌ

    وَأَنّ اِسمِيَ اسمُ الهاشِميِّ مُحمَّدُ

    I have no fault except that I am a Muslim,

    and that my name is that of the Hashimite, Muhammad.
