سَأكفيكَ ما عندي فَقُلْ لابن عَامِرٍ

وصاحِبِ مصرٍ يَكفيانِ الذي أَكْفي

I will suffice you with what I have, so say to Ibn Aamir

And the companion of Egypt, they will suffice what I suffice

وإلاّ فإنّي والذي أنا عبده

مَليءٌ بضبطي ما أمامِي وَمَا خَلْفي

And if not, then I, by the One whom I worship,

Am full with my composure before me and behind me

ولَسْتُ بذي وجهينِ ألقاك بالذي

تريدُ ويُخْفِي في السَّريرهِ ما يُخْفي

And I am not two-faced, I will meet you with what

You want, and conceal in privacy what is concealed

لأنّي إذا عِرضي لكَ اليومَ دونَهمْ

وحَتْفُكَ فيما يَنْتِجُونَ به حَتْفَي

Because if today my honor is attacked without them

And your downfall is in what they produce, so is mine
