فَإِنَّكَ لا يَضُرُّكَ بَعدَ حَولٍ

أَظَبيٌ كانَ أُمُّكَ أَم حِمارُ

After one year has passed, it doesn't matter

If your mother was a gazelle or a donkey

فَقَد لَحِقَ الأَسافِلُ بِالأَعالي

وَماجَ اللُؤمُ وَاِختَلَطَ النِجارُ

The lowly have joined the elite

Scoundrels and carpenters have mixed together

وَعادَ العَبدُ مِثلَ أَبي قُبَيسٍ

وَسيقَ مَعَ المُعَلهَجَةِ العِشارُ

And slaves have become like Abu Qubais

The tithed are led along with the feeble-minded
