عَصيتُ الناسَ في عَودٍ وَبِدءٍ
وَعِصياني لَهُم في زَيِّ طاعَه
I defied the people at every return and fresh beginning;
yet disobeying them concerning Zayd is obedience.
أَداريهُم مَخافَةَ أَن تَراني
وَعِرضي عُرضَةً لِذَوي الزَماعَه
I humor them, fearing that you might see me
with my honor made a target for the crowd’s arrows.
