وَأَمسى مَوهَبٌ كَحِمارِ سَوءٍ

أَجازَ بِبَلدَةٍ فيها يُنادى

And a boon has passed like a donkey of ill omen

Through a village in which is called out

فَإِنَ العَبدَ مِثلَكَ لا يُناوى

سُهَيلاً ضَلَّ سَعيُكَ مَن تُعادى

The likes of you, slave, are not to be trusted

Oh Suhayl you have strayed from your path, shun those you hate

فَأَقصِر يابنَ قَينِ السوءِ عَنهُ

وَعَدِّ عَن المَقالَةِ في البِلادِ

So desist, O son of Qayn the evil, from him

And refrain from speaking in the lands

وَلا تَذكُر عِتابَ أَبي يَزيدٍ

فَهَيهاتَ البُحورُ مِن الثِمادِ

And mention not the reproach of my father Yazeed

Alas, the seas are not sated from the thirst
