وَأَنتَ لِسَوداءِ المَعاصِمِ جَعدَةٍ

وَأَقعَسَ مِن نَسلِ الإِماءِ العَوارِك

You belong to the tight-curled-haired maidens of jet black tents

And more bow-legged than slave women’s bastard offspring

تَبيعٍ لِقَومٍ لَم يَكُن مِن صَميمِهِم

وَلَكِنَّهُ مِن نَسلِ آخَرَ هالِك

Sold off to people who were never really your own

But rather, you descend from another damned lineage

أَبوكَ أَبو سَوءٍ وَخالُكَ مِثلُهُ

وَهَل تُشبِهَن إِلّا أَباكَ وَخالَك

Your father is despicable and your uncle the same

What could you resemble but your father and uncle?
