يا مَن يُبارز بِالعُقوق أَباهُ

اللَه يا شَر الأَنام أَباهُ

O you who rebels against his father with ingratitude

By God, O worst of people, his father

رباك مِن كار الشحاذة طامِعاً

بَعد المَشَقَّة في بُلوغ مُناه

Your Lord raised you from the misery of begging greedily

Until after hardship you reached what you sought

حَتى إِذا أَمسيت صاحب ثَروة

قاطَعتَه وَقَطَعتَ مِنكَ رَجاه

When you became wealthy

You cut him off and cut off his hopes in you

وَطردت صبيتَهُ وَأَمّا جابرٌ

فَكسرت خاطره وَزادَ عَناه

And dismissed his son while Kind Jābir

You broke his heart and increased his troubles

وَغلقت في وَجه الأَقارب كُلِّهم

بابَ المُروءة بئس ما تَلقاه

And closed the door of nobility in the faces of all his relatives

What an evil recompense you have attained
