قَضَى اللَّهُ خَلقَ النّاسِ ثُمَ خُلِقتُمُ

بَقِيَّةِ خَلقِ اللَّهِ آخرَ آخِرِ

Allah decreed the creation of mankind, then you were created

The last remnant of Allah's creation, one after another

فَلَم تَسمَعوا إِلّا بِمَن كانَ قَبلكُم

وَلَم تُدرِكوا إِلّا مَدَقّ الحَوافِرِ

So you have not heard except about those who were before you

And you have not reached except the heels of the horses

أَأَنتُم أُولى جئتُم مَعَ النَمل وَالدبا

فَطارَ وَهَذا شَخصُكُم غَير طائِرِ

Are you the first who came with ants and insects?

So it flew, and this is your essence, not flying

فَمَن أَنتُمُ إِنّا نَسينا مَن انتُمُ

وَريحُكُم مِن أَيِّ ريحِ الأَعاصِرِ

Who are you? We have forgotten who you are

And your wind is from which wind of storms

فَلو رَدَّ أَهلُ الحَقِّ مَن ماتَ مِنكُمُ

إِلى حَقّه لَم تُدفَنوا في المَقابِرِ

If the people of truth who died among you

Returned to their right, you would not be buried in graves

فَما لَكُمُ في أَرضِ نَجدٍ وَغَورُها

إِذا اِقتَسَموا بِالحَقِّ شِبرٌ لِشابِرِ

So what is yours in the land of Najd and its caves

When they divided it truthfully, a handspan for each handspan

فَقُم صاغِراً يا شَيخَ جَرمٍ فَإِنَّما

يُقالُ لِكَهلِ الصِّدقِ قُم غَير صاغِرِ

So rise humbly, O old man of sin, only

The old man of truth is told "Rise without humbling"

فَإِنَّكَ شَيخٌ مَيِّتٌ وَمُورِّثٌ

قُضاعَةَ ميراث البَّسوسِ وَقاشِرِ

You are an old dead man, inheriting

The meagerness of the inheritance of Banu Sas and Qashir
