أخطَاكَ ما كنتَ تَرجُوهُ وتَأمُلُه
فاغسِل يَدَيكَ مِنَ العبَّاسِ بالياسِ
What you hoped and yearned for has eluded you;
so wash your hands of him—of Abbas—with despair.
واغسِل يَدَيكَ بِأشنَانٍ فَأَنقِهِمَا
مِمَّا تُؤَمِّلُ مِن مَعرُوفِ عبّاسِ
And wash your hands with ushnan; cleanse them well
of whatever favor you hope to receive from Abbas.
جَزَاكَ رَبُّكَ يا عَبَّاسُ عَن فَرَجٍ
جَنَّاتِ عَدنٍ وعَنِّي جُرزَتَي آسِ
May your Lord reward you, Abbas, on Faraj’s behalf
with the Gardens of Eden—and on mine, with two bunches of myrtle.
