اخلع ثيابك من أَبي دُلَفِ

واهرُب من الفَجفاجة الصِلفِ

Cast off the garments of Abu Dulaf,

Cast off the garments of Abu Dulaf,

And flee from rough and coarse men.

And flee from the pompous, arrogant braggart.

لا يُعجِبَنَّك من أَبي دلف

وَجهٌ يُضيءُ كَدرّة الصَدَف

Let not the face of Abu Dulaf please you,

Let not Abu Dulaf impress you,

A face shining like a pearl oyster shell.

With a face that gleams like a pearl in the shell.

إِنّي وَجدت أَخي أَبا دلف

عند الفِعال مولّدَ الشرف

Verily I found my brother Abu Dulaf

For I have found my brother Abu Dulaf,

To be a doer of honorable deeds.

When it comes to deeds, to be of spurious honor.
