أبا مُجرِمٍ ما غَيَّرَ اللهُ نِعمَةً
عَلَى عَبدِهِ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرَها العَبدُ
Abu Mujrim, God has never altered a blessing
bestowed upon His servant until the servant himself alters it.
أبا مُجرِمٍ خَوَّفتَني القَتلَ فَانتَحَى
عَلَيكَ بما خَوَّفتَنِي الأسَدُ الوَردُ
Abu Mujrim, you threatened me with death; now
the tawny lion has turned upon you with the very death you threatened me with.
أَفي دَولَةِ المَهدِيِّ حَاوَلتَ غَدرَةً
ألا إنَّ أَهلَ الغَدرِ آباؤُكَ الكُردُ
Under al-Mahdi’s rule, did you seek to betray me?
Behold: the people of treachery are your forefathers—the Kurds.
Sol 5.6
