ماذا تُحاوِلُ مِن شَتمي وَمَنقَصَتي

ماذا تُحاوِلُ مِن حَمّالَةِ الحَطَبِ

What do you gain from insulting and belittling me?

What do you gain from carrying wood on your back?

غَرّاءُ سائِلَةٌ في المَجدِ غُرَّتُها

كانَت حَليلَةَ شَيخٍ ثاقِبِ النَسَبِ

A fool asking for glory, her foolishness exposed

She was an old man's concubine, of high lineage

إِنّا وَإِنَّ رَسولَ اللَهِ جاءَ بِنا

شَيخٌ عَظيمُ شُؤونِ الرَأسِ وَالنَشَبِ

We came with the Messenger of God

A great elder of noble descent

يا لَعَنَ اللَهُ قَوماً أَنتَ سَيِّدُهُم

في جِلدَةٍ بَينَ أَصلِ الثَيلِ وَالذَنَبِ

Curse of God on people who you are their leader

In a skin between tail and penis

أَبِالقُيونِ تُوافيني تُفاخِرُني

وَتَدَّعي المَجدَ قَد أَفرَطتَ في الكَذِبِ

With lies do you compete with me and boast?

Exceeding in lies and vanity your claim

وَفي ثَلاثَةِ رَهطٍ أَنتَ رابِعُهُم

توعِدُني واسِطاً جُرثومَةَ العَرَبِ

You threaten me, bringing together Arab rubbish

In a family of Quraysh, its pillars

في أُسرَةٍ مِن قُرَيشٍ هُم دَعائِمُها

تَشفي دِماؤُهُمُ لِلخَبلِ وَالكَلَبِ

Whose blood is remedy for idiots and dogs

Your father is a slave, you don't deny

أَمّا أَبوكَ فَعَبدٌ لَستَ تُنكِرُهُ

وَكانَ مالِكُهُ جَدّي أَبو لَهَبِ

My grandfather, his master, was Abu Lahab

Our lineage is glorious, and honor is our trait

النَبعُ عيدانُنا وَالمَجدُ شيمَتُنا

لَسنا كَقَومِكَ مِن مَرخٍ وَمِن غَرَبِ

We are not like your people, from west and east
