لي على الناس فضل نظم وعلم

من أباه هجوته وأباه

I have excellence over people in prosody and knowledge

I disparage the one who disparages his father

وإذا ما أتى صفعت قفاه

وقفا من أعانه وقفاه

And if he comes, I slap his nape

A nape of one who helped him and his nape

رحم اللَه من أراد محالا

فنهاه عن المحال نهاه

May God have mercy on one who wanted the impossible

So I forbid him from the impossible, I forbid him
