بلدٌ أبو الفتح اللئيمُ عميدُهُ

والقاسمُ بن الفضل قيل رئيسُهُ

A country whose stupid leader is Abul Fath

And it is said that Al Qasim bin Al Fadl is its president

وظريفُه الكافي الطويل وعرضُه

رثُّ الرداء كما عرفتَ لبَيسُه

Its refined one is Al Kafi Al Tawil, and its width

Is the shabby, torn cloak, as you know its cheapness

ونقيبُه التيسُ الرِضا متبظرِمٌ

مع أنِّه دنِسُ الَمحلِّ خسيسُه

Its leader is Al Tays Arridha, frowning

Despite his being the dirty, despised one

وابنُ الخطيبيّ الصغير لحكمهِ

زلَلٌ وجروُ المندوي جليسهُ

And the young son of Al Khatibi in his wisdom

Is unstable, and the flowing of Al Mandawi is his companion

والوقَفُ في أيدي العُلوج وكلُّهم

قد زاد من مال الَمصالحِ كيسُه

The endowment is in the hands of Al Ulwaj, all of whom

Have increased the funds of the causes for their own gain

وأنا وسلَمان الأديبُ إمامُنا

وجميعُ مَن صقلت نُهاه دروسُه

As for me and the literary Salman, our imam

And all those whose minds were polished by his lessons

نبكي على الفضل الذي قد صوّحت

بسقوطهم أفنانُه وغروسُه

We cry over the loss of merit that with their downfall

Its branches and plants have shrieked
