يا آل حيدَرَةَ المعفّر خدُّهم

عبد المسيح على اسمِ عبد منافِ

O people of Haydara, their cheeks smeared with dust

O clan of Haydara, whose cheeks are soiled in dust,

Abdul-Masih is named after Abd Manaf

Abd al-Masih parading the name of Abd Manaf,

تَرْبا الكلاب بأن يكونَ أباً لهم

ويَرينَ عاراً شدَّةَ الإقراف

Would that dogs might choose him as a father

The very dogs disdain to have him as their sire,

And think it shameful, his great sin

And view the depth of such mixed lineage as a shame.

لا تجمعوا لغةَ النبيطِ وتيهَكُم

وأُصولَكُم وأسامِيَ الأشرافِ

Do not combine the language of Nabit with your wandering

Do not combine the Nabatean tongue with haughty pride,

And your origins and the names of nobles

Nor mix your roots with the titles of the noble-born.
