إنَّ الأرَاقِمَ لاَ يَغْشَاهُمُ بُوسُ

مَا دَافَعَ اللَّهُ عَنْ حَوْبَاءَ كُرْدُوسِ

The numbers are not deceived by a kiss

What has God defended of Hubba's Kordos

نَمَتْهُ مِنْ تَغْلِبَ الْغَلْبَا فَوَارِسُهَا

تَلْكَ الرؤُسُ وَأبْنَاءُ الْمَرائٍيسِ

Its prosperity grew from conquering conquerors

Those heads and sons of chiefs

مَا بَالُ كُلّ أمِيرٍ يُسْتَرَابُ بِه

دِينٌ صَحِيحٌ وَرأَيٌ غَيْرُ مَلْبُوسِ

What is with every emir who is doubted

A right religion and an opinion not worn

وإلى عَلِيَّا بِقَدْرِ بَذَّ مِنْهُ إذا

مَا صَرَّحَ الْغَدْرُ عَنْ رَدّ الضَّغَابِيسِ

And to Ali with the amount of contempt from him when

Treachery declares the rejection of calumnies

نِعْمَ النَّصِيرُ لأَهْلِ الحَقّ قَدْ عَلِمَتْ

عُلْيَا مَعَدّ عَلَى أنْصَارِ ابْلِسِ

Good is the supporter for the people of truth, it is known

Ulia, prepared against the supporters of Iblis

قُلْ لِلَّذِينَ تَرَقَّوْا فِي تَعَنُّتِهِ

إنَّ الْبَكَارَةَ لَيْسَتْ كالْقَنَاعِيسِ

Say to those who were arrogant in their obstinacy

That chastity is not like monks

لَنْ تُدْرِكُوا الدَّهْرَ كُرْدُوساً وَأسْرَتَهُ

أبْنَاءُ ثَعْلَبَةَ الْحَادِي وَذُو العِيسِ

You will not obtain Kordos and his family as fate

The sons of Tha'laba the transgressor and Dhu l-Ays
