1. أَيَكونُ دِمنُ قَرارَةٍ مَوطوءَةٍ

    نَبَتَت بخُبثٍ مِثلَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

    Can the dung-heaps of a trampled hollow,

    sprung from filth, be like the family of Muhammad?

  2. أَيهاتَ حَلَّت في السَماءِ بُيوتُهُم

    وَأَقامَ بَيتُكَ بِالحَضيضِ الأَقعَدِ

    Far from it! Their houses have settled in the sky,

    while your house has remained in the lowest depths.

  3. أَو سِرتَ بِالخَطَفى لِتُدرِكَ دارِماً

    أَيهاتَ جارَ بِكَ الطَريقُ المُهتَدي

    Or did you journey with al-Khatafa to catch up with Darim?

    Far from it! The right road has led you astray.
