البُحتُرِيُّ إِذا فَتَّشتَ نِسبَتَهُ

في بُحتُرٍ كَحَبيبٍ في بَني ثُعَلِ

When you investigate al-Buhturi's lineage

In Buhtur like a beloved among the clan of Tha'labah

كِلاهُما يَتَظَنّى عِندَ نِسبَتِهِ

وَقَلبُهُ مِن تَظَنّيهِ عَلى وَجَلِ

They both have misgivings about his lineage

And his heart is anxious because of these suspicions
