جَمَعتَ أَمرَينِ ضاعَ الحَزمُ بَينَهُما

تيهَ المُلوكِ وَأَفعالَ المَماليكِ

You combined two matters, losing composure between them

The confusion of kings and the deeds of slaves

أَرَدتَ شُكراً بِلا بِرٍّ وَمَرزِئَةٍ

لَقَد سَلَكتَ طَريقاً غَيرَ مَسلوكِ

You wanted gratitude without righteousness and integrity

Indeed, you have taken an untrodden path

ظَنَنتَ عِرضَكَ لا يُرمى بِقارِعَةٍ

وَما أراكَ عَلى حالٍ بِمَتروكِ

You thought your honor would not be hit with calamities

Yet I do not see you in a neglected state
